U.S. Embassy Program Strategic Goals and Objectives

The U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassy Malabo announces an Open Competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for projects that support greater and more effective provision of services, greater transparency, protection of human rights and access to justice for the entire Equatoguinean population.

U.S. Embassy Program Background and Description
Globally, there is a decline in rule of law performance, which is a critical factor to the advancement of human rights and is a precondition for access to justice. Additionally, targeted anti-rights attacks have proliferated to the detriment of human rights for all persons. In Equatorial Guinea, civil rights are granted by the constitution, which formally endorses the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights. Article 13 of the constitution protects personal liberties, including the right to free expression and assembly, free movement, and free association, as well as the enjoyment of several due process rights. In order for more individuals to have increased access to rights and services as enshrined in domestic and/or international laws, it is imperative that justice sector professionals have the opportunity to enhance professionalism and capacity to provide legal representation, reform court procedures, promote budget transparency, and enable internal oversight mechanisms. Additionally, access to information on existing legal mechanisms and gaps creates a barrier to protecting human rights. Actors from vulnerable and marginalized communities and the organizations they lead have often been on the front lines of working to ensure that democracy and its institutions are strong and inclusive, that all persons have access to equal justice within a context of strong and effective rule of law, and that no person experiences harm or violence because of who they are or who they love, or any other personal characteristics, including but not limited to: sex, gender, gender identity or expression, race, religion, indigeneity, migration status, or disability. These actors are therefore best positioned to respond to the increasing global threat of anti-rights actors who seek to undermine laws and norms regarding universal human rights and rule of law. Through this award, U.S. Embassy Malabo aims to support greater and more effective protection of human rights and access to justice for the entire Equatoguinean population.
