Checks and Balances Network
In the year 2012, 33 non-governmental organizations, including the Marmara Group Foundation, met with the dream of Turkey, where we live freely with our differences, we know our rights are under guarantee, the justice is distributed equally, the administration is transparent, came together. In the framework of 108 proposals with common aspirations, the Balance and Supervision Network (DDA) was founded.
The Network, combined with the view that a balance and supervision system was essential for guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of the individuals with a new constitution, decided to continue to work for the settlement of the balance and supervision system with the aim of strong democracy over time while focusing only on the work of the new constitution in the beginning.
After completing the phases of growth and development, the network went to a new structuring, "strategic reform groups," on decision-making and implementation mechanisms of the Network, in order to make more impact in the society, to increase participation, and to protect collaboration of Network members with working together. The Balance and Supervision Network carried out its' sustainable advocacy works in different reform areas through the Constitution Reform Group, the Legislative Reform Group, the Executive Reform Group, the Judiciary Reform Group, the Local Administrations Reform Group, the Media Reform Group and the Civil Society Reform Group, within the framework of the strategies specified by the Network.
Each group develops and advocates short, medium, long-term reforms. The reform areas on which he or she is working must be in an accountable, transparent and participatory, equitable and supervisory system, independent and effective, without discrimination of gender, belief, ethnicity, political affiliation, language, geography, education and economic situation.
Internal Evaluation Group, Communication Group, Writing Team were also formed to support and guide the decision-making mechanism Coordination Group and to share their authority. Thus, instead of a single decision mechanism in the DDA's structure, a new system has been established that fits the values that Balance and Supervision Network claimed, where responsibilities are shared and supervised one another.
Today, nearly 300 members and NGO representatives, who work voluntarily in line with the same targets and on the side of the democracy with different approaches, are within the Balance and Supervision Network. Marmara Group Foundation EU and Human Rights Platform President Müjgan Suver is the spokesperson for the Judiciary Reform Group and is active in the network as a member of the Coordination Group and DDA spokesperson, who form the administrative staff at the national level.
