OVERVIEW OF CCF's PROGRAMME - STRENGTHENING Fiji's DEMOCRACY

Introduction
Over the past 15 years, CCF has carried out a wide range of activities with differing target beneficiaries with varied results. The experience gained from all these activities has been inserted into CCF's new three year programme entitled 'Strengthening Fiji's Democracy'. Activities that have worked well in the past have been redefined and repeated in this new programme and those that did not have been redesigned or discontinued. The new programme has a renewed focus on CCF's education in Human Rights, Good Governance and Citizenship, while building on CCF's advocacy activities, particularly through media activities. The programme commenced in January 2009.

PROGRAMME GOAL

To build a nation in which Fiji’s people live together in equality, justice and peace, respecting the rule of law, under a Constitution that guarantees democracy and human rights.

PROGRAMME PURPOSE
