Project Title & Description Media, Government and Civil Society Dialogue in Uzbekistan Uzbekistan maintains tight control of the media despite constitutional guarantees of press freedom. Prepublication press censorship was abolished in 2002, but self-censorship by the media is still widespread. The government does not communicate with the public on regular basis as it also lacks the required professional capacity to disseminate information in line with democratic standards and practices. RD proposes to implement a project improving the quality of interaction between Uzbek government institutions, public and media to foster democratization and intercultural dialogue. RD will encourage a dialogue with the objective to raise capacities of both media and government officials and civil society to enable provision of high quality and timely information to people. As one of the few democracy building NGOs with a registered branch office in the country and a mandate to conduct work in the area of human rights, RD is in a unique position to implement the proposed action.

Most of people do not know even how to declare their votes. A large number of votes are rejected at every election. This project intends to educate the community regarding this matter and establish easy access to information. The project duration will be 02 years. By implementation of this project, participation of marginalized or vulnerable communities to democratic processes and decision making processes is highly expected. It seems that shortage of officers who have education on democracy and gender is a great problem that is haunting in the public and private sectors.

CARE knows all too well that in the upcoming year fears and tensions among ethnic communities will likely escalate and may culminate in an open conflict. The March 2004 riots are an example of such escalation. Yet CAREs past work is evidence of how forging dialogue, relationships and Local - Serbia networks across ethnic communities can mitigate this escalation: in the twenty communities where CARE was undertaking reconciliation work in March 2004, no violent inter-ethnic incidents occurred. The proposed project seeks to build on CAREs peacebuilding work to date in order to address both the causes and consequences of inter-ethnic conflict. CARE will use a three-tiered approach that seeks to both address and alleviate the pressing fears between ethnic communities and strengthen local capacity to manage conflict and create a viable inter-ethnic society over time. Throughout this process CARE will focus on capturing

Strong emphasis will be given to mediating between communities to resolve existing disputes through a peacebuilding approach. These ethnic communities will also be supported in mapping and analyzing the root causes of the conflict and identifying the means to address them in a systematic manner through open and transparent dialogue forums. This will prepare them to address disputes that may arise during this period of transition in the upcoming years. At the same time, the project will work with civil society organizations, municipal government structures, and community-based organizations (CBOs) in an effort to develop local capacity to contribute to and continue the international communitys peacebuilding efforts. As mentioned above, weak community networks have contributed to passivity at community level, where people wait for government or international organizations to address their needs and concerns. Moreover, the development of the non-forprofit and grassroots sector in Kosovo is still in its early stages, with fragmented non-governmental structures failing to take a unified and coordinated approach to resolving critical social issues.

Project Title & Description Project The environment within which Legal Aid is provided in Rwanda is characterized by a high population density, with a large rural, semi-literate population. 56.9 % of the population or 5.4 million people live below the poverty line and only 62.5 % of rural men and women consider themselves literate. The 2008 Legal Aid Baseline Survey identified a number of key limiting factors in access to justice in Rwanda: - The limited number of lawyers and the limited geographic reach (urban bias) and capacity of legal aid service providers (both civil society organizations and the Bar Association / Corps of Judicial Defenders); and Limited awareness of available legal aid services amongst the population. Basing on the above research the proposed Access to justice and Human Rights Education Project will play an important role in making access to justice a reality for many poor, vulnerable and indigent populations in our rural communities.
