This document discusses the Metagora project, which aimed to develop robust methods and tools for measuring human rights and democratic governance. It did this through pilot projects in different world regions in an interactive fashion. Key results were that combining quantitative and qualitative approaches can provide useful policy-relevant information. A major lesson was the need to involve a wide range of institutions and actors, like human rights organizations and statistical offices, in measurement and assessment. The document contributes innovative approaches that complement existing work on governance and rights indicators.

The unifished business of the fifth enlargement countries: Comparative Studyekonkafr
The political systems of the central and eastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 have experienced instability since accession. Party systems have fragmented, with new populist and nationalist parties emerging and gaining support at the expense of the parties that led their countries into the EU. Coalition governments have been fragile and short-lived. This political instability represents an ongoing challenge and threatens democratic development, as citizens' trust in institutions has declined. The EU membership provides limited leverage to remedy domestic political issues.
This document summarizes a case study on organizing workers in the informal municipal waste management industry in South Africa. It finds that the industry has undergone significant changes with the externalization of municipal services and informalization of employment. Two main organizations were identified that organize and represent workers - the South African Municipal Workers' Union (SAMWU) and the Build Environment Support Group (BESG). SAMWU represents formalized waste workers while BESG organizes informal waste pickers and works with local governments on partnerships. The study examines these organizations and maps issues for developing organizing strategies in the context of South Africa's laws on local government responsibilities, municipal service partnerships, and poverty alleviation programs.

It concludes by briefly mentioning some human rights issues in the Philippines and listing some local and international human rights organizations.
Victims rights as human rights from human rights watchmarsyslawforall
First and foremost, all victims of crime should have their status recognized by the state. Such recognition should be forthcoming whether or not alleged perpetrators are identified or arrested. Human rights standards demand that victims be treated with compassion and with respect for their human dignity throughout the criminal justice process, and that no group or category of victims should suffer from discrimination. Victims of crime should be able to have access to and participate in the criminal justice system through procedures that provide them with information, notice, and an opportunity to be heard without prejudice to the rights of the accused. Human rights standards recognize that victims should be protected and assisted in all appropriate instances, and they should have access to specialized help in dealing with emotional trauma and other hardships caused by their victimization.2

This highlights document covers the main findings and proposals from the Innovative Citizen Participation and New Democratic Institutions: Catching the Deliberative Wave report. Public authorities from all levels of government increasingly turn to Citizens' Assemblies, Juries, Panels and other representative deliberative processes to tackle complex policy problems ranging from climate change to infrastructure investment decisions. Based on the analysis of close to 300 representative deliberative practices, the report explores trends in such processes, identifies different models, and analyses the trade-offs among different design choices as well as the benefits and limits of public deliberation. It also explores the reasons and routes for embedding deliberative activities into public institutions to give citizens a more permanent and meaningful role in shaping the policies affecting their lives.

The document discusses sustainable development and the challenges of balancing resource use with environmental protection. It uses the example of Easter Island to illustrate how past civilizations failed to maintain this balance, resulting in environmental devastation and societal collapse. While modern societies have seen significant economic growth and rising living standards, this has also led to problems like rising inequality, environmental degradation, and the potential for systems to become unbalanced. Achieving sustainable development requires finding ways for societies to progress while respecting the environmental and social limits of the planet.

Partnering with Civil Society. 12 Lessons from DAC Peer Reviews. OECDDominique Gross
This booklet is about partnerships between DAC members and civil society organisations (CSOs) which can serve many purposes. These include, as reflected in the Busan Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (2011), supporting the vital role that CSOs play in enabling people to claim their rights, in promoting rights-based approaches, in shaping development policies and partnerships and in overseeing their implementation, in providing services in areas that are complementary to those provided by states and in contributing to and raising public awareness about global development challenges and results. Partnerships related to humanitarian assistance are examined in more detail in an earlier publication in this series: “Towards Better Humanitarian Donorship: 12 Lessons from DAC Peer Reviews” (OECD, 2012a).
Despite the significant share of official development assistance (ODA) flowing to and through CSOs (16.2% of ODA of DAC member countries in 2010), there are few shared guidelines, benchmarks or documented good practices that DAC members can follow when partnering with civil society. At the same time, DAC peer reviews provide recommendations, evidence and examples of how different members work with CSOs, the challenges they face and good practice.
DAC member countries can improve partnerships with civil society organizations by developing comprehensive civil society policies. These policies should be evidence-based, clarify objectives for supporting civil society, and be designed in consultation with CSOs. Specifically, the policies should be included in overarching development strategies, continuously assess assumptions about CSO roles, and establish measurable commitments like those in the Busan agreement. Regular reviews involving CSOs can help ensure the policies adapt to changing needs. Strong civil society policies provide a strategic framework to guide effective and mutually beneficial cooperation.

This paper investigates the differences in innovation behaviour, i.e. differences in innovation sources and innovation effects, among manufacturing firms in three NMS: the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. It is based on a survey of firms operating in four manufacturing industries: food and beverages, automotive, pharmaceuticals and electronics. The paper takes into account: innovation inputs in enterprises, cooperation among firms in R&D activities, the benefits of cooperation with business partners and innovation effects (innovation outputs and international competitiveness of firms' products and technology) in the three countries. After employing cluster analysis, five types of innovation patterns were detected. The paper characterises and compares these innovation patterns, highlighting differences and similarities. The paper shows that external knowledge plays an important role in innovation activities in NMS firms. The ability to explore cooperation with business partners and the benefits of using external knowledge are determined by in-house innovation activities, notably R&D intensity.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Measuring Human Rights
and Democratic Governance
EXPERIENCES AND LESSONS FROM METAGORA
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, this special
issue of the OECD Journal on Development focuses on robust methods and tools for assessing
human rights, democracy and governance. How can these key dimensions of development be
measured? By whom? For which purposes? Metagora formulates a response to these questions.
Metagora is the first international project on measuring human rights and democratic governance
to undertake several pilot experiences in different regions of the world in an interactive fashion.
This publication presents key results, policy relevance and methodological implications of these
experiences. It illustrates the feasibility and usefulness of measuring human rights and democratic
governance with combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. It provides decision makers,
policy actors, analysts and civil society with first-hand materials and selected examples on how
statistics and indicators can be created and used in this field.
This publication also presents a wealth of global lessons from the Metagora experiences. These
include the need for involving a wide range of institutions and actors – such as human rights
institutions, research centres, national statistical offices and civil society organisations – in the
measurement and assessment processes. Metagora’s findings and lessons constitute a substantive
and innovative contribution which usefully complements ongoing work by leading international
organisations on governance and human rights indicators.
