Strengthening NGOs: Guide to Public Hearings for NGOs download the Report NGOs hold the government accountable through public hearings in the parliament. Now the Nazaha-project has published a report concerning this issue.  The Nazaha project is jointly implemented by AMAN (Coalition for Accountability and Integrity) and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) to combat corruption in the NGO sector and to strengthen the Palestinian civil society through enhancing accountability and good governance as part of the European Union’s “Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights”. After successfully compiling a Code of Conduct for Palestinian NGOs, the project enters now its next phase, in which the NGOs are encouraged to take a watchdog role towards the governmental and private sector. In the framework of the Nazaha-project, a guide was compiled to introduce and reinforce public hearings through the Palestinian Parliament (Palestinian Legislative Council). The PLC and its members will use their experiences, expertise and resources to fight corruption within the public and private sector. The hearings are meant to give an overview about activities in organizations and companies.   The guide to public hearings thus constitutes another step of the Nazaha-project towards the strengthening of the Palestinian NGOs’ watchdog role over governmental institutions and the private sector.       Copyright AMAN © 2007
