Presentation to the Turkish Quality Management institution: citizens power & ...Support for Improvement in Governance and Management SIGMA
This document discusses citizens' power to hold public institutions accountable through participation in decision making. It describes SIGMA as a joint OECD-EU initiative that helps countries strengthen governance. Public administration is important for the EU accession process though not a formal chapter. Policy tools like impact assessments and consultation are emphasized as mechanisms for accountability and public input. Open policy making, data sharing and framing of issues can impact decisions and unintended consequences may arise, so participation is key.2014 UNDP ILRC Annual Report
The ILRC 2014 Annual Report is here! As the ILRC moves into its 15th year, it seems appropriate to take a moment to revisit not only the past year, but the past decade and a half, both to assess past accomplishments and the achievement of future goals.
The ILRC was founded in 1999, following a series of conversations I [Timothy Dickinson] had with UNDP Resident Representatives and the realization that ABA members throughout the world were not only providing technical legal assistance in areas such as Eastern Europe, but were enthusiastic to do even more such work worldwide. This dovetailed well with UNDP’s recognition that, to advance its primary goal of the eradication of poverty, advancement of democratic governance was imperative. The leadership of the ABA, along with then UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown, soon entered into the Project Cooperation Agreement in October 1999, and the “ABA-UNDP Legal Resource Unit” (later to be renamed the ILRC) officially opened its “doors” for business in December 1999, heralding a new era of cooperation between our institutions to achieve common goals.
As we take a look back to provide context for the future, we have much to celebrate! To date, we have carried out over 300 projects worldwide, including a large number of projects relating to the kinds of governance issues that we might have anticipated, such as constitutional reform, access to justice, criminal law reform, mainstreaming human rights and institutional capacity building. But in addition to these more traditional areas, we’ve also been able to help in even more specialized areas of law, such as tax reform, compliance with international treaties, HIV/AIDS legislation, transparency and the list goes on. What is particularly noteworthy in reviewing this exhaustive list is the breadth of what the collaboration between the ABA and UNDP has addressed. Please join me in reviewing this annual report of our recent projects and highlights. We hope that this may inspire those interested in our work to participate. The ILRC is always open to new members. Interested junior and senior experts can e-mail Christina Heid at Christina.Heid@americanbar.org. To learn more, please visit the ILRC website.
