About Project 30-30
Project
30-30 is an education and election monitoring project of the Center
for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) that aims to address
the problem of electoral fraud by helping arrest the disastrous
effects of the 30+ vulnerabilities of the Commission on Elections’
(Comelec) Automated Election System (AES).
As an education and monitoring activity, Project 30-30 envisions
to increase the understanding and capacity of the civil society
community especially people’s organizations and NGOs on the
complexities, vulnerabilities, and critical areas of the AES. It
aims to cover and reach as many people and communities at the grassroots
level in the broad efforts to safeguard their votes and counter
election fraud. It will also seek wider consultations and unite
the Filipino information communications technology (ICT) as well
as legal profession enabling them to share their competencies and
expertise in weeding out the glitches and risks that threaten the
technological and legal integrity of the poll automation.
Project 30-30 is for two years with funding by the European Union
(EU) through the European Commission Delegation in the Philippines.
CenPEG’s implementing partners are the Coordinating Council
for People’s Development and Governance (CCPDG), National
Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP), Computer Professionals’
Union (CPU), National Union of People’s Lawyers (NUPL), and
Health Alliance for Democracy (Head).
The results of the studies as well as concrete lessons derived from
the two-year project will serve as the basis for electoral reform
and the engagement of CenPEG, its project partners, and other election
multi-stakeholders in advocating for electoral and political reform.
