In June 7th in Washington DC The Inter-American Dialogue Center* presented its first ever Award for Civic Engagement to the Coalición Educación Digna, the civil society group that led the successful “4% campaign” for educational reform in the Dominican Republic.
“We are truly inspired by this example of civil society that seeks to promote government responsibility and accountability in the Dominican Republic. That, precisely, it is democracy” said Michael Shifter, Inter-American Dialogue President about the award.

CLC Dominican Republic: Concrete “advocacy” action in favor of education
The goal of this initiative is that the government of the Dominican Republic should comply with what is currently established in the regulations, to allocate at least 4% of the Gross Domestic Product of the country to education; a situation that is very far from reality, in which less than 2% is allocated and where limitations and inequity in access to the same can be observed.
