BIRN Serbia – past programme

Through its performance evaluation project, BIRN Serbia is working to establish an efficient and innovative watchdog tool for monitoring governments performance and accountability.

Summary

The project, which runs from March 2012-December 2012, aims to create a baseline for evaluating future governments' performance and accountability, while also raising public awareness of party programs and policies as they relate to electorate priorities.

In addition, the BIRN Serbia team works to strengthen the role of media and civil society in the exercise of its “watchdog” role.

As part of the project, BIRN Serbia is identifying citizens’ priorities and carrying out comparative analysis of political parties' proclaimed policies as they relate to citizens' priorities. The team is also developing performance monitoring techniques and a communication strategy.

The performance evaluation project targets the general public, civil society organisations, the expert community and media outlets. In connection with the project, BIRN Serbia produces a comparative analysis of political party programmes and election platforms.

BIRN Serbia is working in partnership with the Centre for Free Elections and Democracy, CESID a Serbian NGO, on this project. It is supported by the National Endowment for Democracy.
