On the recordOctober 24, 2001
The mission of the Hacia la Seguridad project is to increase transparency throughout Ecuador's legal system as a means of promoting bureaucratic and judicial accountability, effective governance and law enforcement, and improved access to justice. The project specifically focuses on the identification and elimination of invalid regulations and statutes, the design of modern legal codes, judicial monitoring, and public education and support for rule of law reform. It is my understanding that the Senator supports this project and that it is the intention of the committee that it receive support from USAID. The project advances the goals set forth in the International Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Act of 2000 and helps promote stability and democracy in the Andean region generally. It is the committee's intent that this project receive ESF funding in fiscal year 2002.
