I am working as a program coordinator at Soros Foundation-Moldova, Justice Program. At the moment I am coordinating the Shared Framework on Legal Empowerment project in Moldova. Open Society Foundations (OSF) has launched a new initiative on legal empowerment which aims to institutionalize responsive, accountable, credible, and financially secure systems offering nationwide and/or population-specific community-based justice services. This effort is pursued in Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Ukraine and the United States.The Soros Foundation-Moldova subscribes to the overarching aim of the shared framework on legal empowerment, focused on institutionalization and scaling up of community-based justice services to a sustainable, national level. Our approach relies on the understanding of legal empowerment as a tool sharpened to empower people to be active actors of their own development, as an instrument for strengthening the capacity of local communities, for stimulating reforms, and for keeping government accountable.
I hope that the network will share with us it's experience in the field of Legal Empowerment.
