"Towards Increased Transparency and Clear Criteria for Employment in Public Sector – Stop Political Employment"

The goal of this project is to contribute to fight against corruption through advocating for the rule of law and transparency in the area of employment in public sector and public companies.

In January 2015, Center for Democracy Foundation started realization of the project: “Towards Increased Transparency and Clear Criteria for Employment in Public Sector – Stop Political Employment”. 

Corruption that occurs during employment process, among other things, violates the principles of equality and non-discrimination and some of basic human rights. On one side, it disables the practicing of right to employment and right to equal access to all available work places; and on the other side it limits the rights of employees to decent work and the right to advance according the established criteria. Therefore, this type of corruption, often classified as small corruption, boost discrimination, strongly affect on everyday life of citizens, prevents accomplishments of basic human rights and leads to even bigger gap of social differences. Corruption during employing has much greater consequences than those visible at first sight; it habitually leads to employment of workers who are not qualified for the jobs they are supposed to do, which further influence the efficiency and productivity of all employees, the company itself and lastly – the whole commerce.

The goal of this project is to contribute to fight against corruption through advocating for the rule of law and transparency in the area of employment in public sector and public companies.
