Rekonstrukce státu

What Rekonstrukce státu does

Rekonstrukce státu (legal name: Rekonstrukce státu, z.s.) is a Czech non-profit civic association founded in March 2013 as a coalition of approximately 20 non-governmental organizations to advocate for anti-corruption legislation. The organization combined expert legal knowledge from its member NGOs (Frank Bold Society, Oživení, Otevřená společnost, Hlídač státu, Datlab Institut) with direct lobbying of politicians and public campaigns to advance systemic reforms. Its work focused on transparency in public procurement, independence of prosecutors, online property declarations for politicians, and regulation of lobbying. Over more than a decade, the platform claimed credit for 25 enacted anti-corruption laws, surpassing its original one-year goal of nine laws.

The organization's go-to-market was community-led: a volunteer and ambassador network spanning all Czech regions engaged in citizen lobbying, supported by an informational website (built by Sinfin.digital on the open-source Folio CMS), social media channels (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook), email newsletters, and occasional leaflet or billboard campaigns. Meetings with politicians were publicly logged under the #DeníkLobbisty hashtag, anchoring a reputation for lobbying transparency.

Revenue was sourced exclusively from individual donations and project grants rather than commercial sales. Donation tiers ranged from 300–3,000 Kč monthly and 1,500–15,000 Kč one-time; a one-year 2023 Active Citizens Fund grant (EEA/Norway Grants) supported communication improvements. Early funding came from Fond Otakara Motejla and the US Embassy. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization concluded its mission in January 2025, with member organizations continuing independent anti-corruption work.
