JRGA - Judicial Reform and Government Accountability Project

The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Regional Services Center (RSC) in Budapest, is seeking proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing technical assistance and/or services to improve Serbia's rule of law, judicial efficiency, independence and integrity and the openness and accountability of government operations overall. The project will promote reduced opportunities for corruption in some government institutions and increased detection of corruption that does occur. 

Specifically, JRGA consists of two components:  The first will help make the administration of justice more efficient, transparent and responsive to the needs of court users, and to increase public awareness about the improvements.  The second component will help strengthen the capacity of Serbia's Independent Agencies and civil society to promote open, accountable and efficient government; to fight corruption and poor administrative practices; and to generate public demand for and participation in good governance.   Both components will also help create new opportunities for citizens to participate in and monitor government operations, and provide tools for them to do so.  This work will complement components of other USAID/Serbia activities that support public engagement and government responsiveness, transparency, and accountability.
