OAS PROMOTES CIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATION IN REGIONAL AGENDA
November 3, 2006
The Organization of American States (OAS), through the Summits of the Americas Secretariat and with support from the Open Society Institute, has given grants totaling $100,000 to nine nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that were selected to implement projects related with issues on the inter-American agenda.
The 2006-2007 Inter-American Civil Society Partnership Initiative seeks to strengthen the participation of the nongovernmental sector in helping to implement mandates established by the Heads of States and Government through the Summit of the Americas process and the OAS General Assembly.
The grant recipients will promote the Inter-American Democratic Charter, build capacity among civil society organizations and governments to prevent torture, and promote women’s rights by addressing domestic violence. Other projects will focus on the problems of migrants in border zones, as well as the fight against racial discrimination.
The organizations will also promote awareness of the Summit of the Americas mandates, advance the implementation of the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption, facilitate civil society networks and monitor compliance with Summit mandates related to women’s participation in democratic governance.
The results of these projects will contribute to the proposals that civil society will present at the Fifth Summit of the Americas, to be held in Trinidad and Tobago in 2009.
The selection committee, which includes representatives of the OAS, the Open Society Institute and Global Rights, examined 112 projects submitted by civil society organizations from 24 countries. Each request was evaluated based on the following basic criteria: relevance of the project to the implementation and monitoring of Summit mandates, quality and viability of the project, background of the organization and compatibility with the OAS.
