| Human Rights and Governance |

••• Human rights and democracy are crucial for development. Both the United Nations and all donor countries have upheld this concept since the 1990s. Disregard of human rights, justice or democratic principles has weakened the impact and sustainability of development efforts. As a result, bilateral and international agencies have formulated preconditions for the participation in development programmes. Creating efficient, transparent administrations and supporting decentralisation processes and judicial reforms have therefore become a focus of international development aid. ••• We support activities towards increasing respect of human rights and good governance. Our experts strengthen civil society organisations and foster their participation in democratic decision making processes. In addition, AGEG promotes representation of minorities in all areas of political and economic life. Complementing this is our core commitment to the formation of judicial systems that enhance the realisation of political, civil, economic, social and cultural human rights of all individuals. We also support public institutions' transfer of power to the local level, as this improves community service delivery and ultimately leads to poverty reduction. Services provided by AGEG:
