Together We Are More Secure and Safer

Background for the Action

The local government is led by party politics, and the party agendas hugely influence decision making. The goals of the parties in our society are related to meeting the needs and interests of their membership (which does not always imply the majority). The citizens, on the other hand, hoping to fulfil their short-term personal interests are much more organized within the political parties and advocate party views and are much less neutral or believe in the power of CSOs and civic activism as a possibility to come to positive changes. In the end, the local CSOs are limited in resources, and they depend on the external finances which are provided on a competitive basis, and there is a lack of continuity in their work, while the results and effects of their engagements are with limited success.

GOALS AND RESULTS

Goal: Civil sector cooperates with the local authorities and actively contributes to positive social changes and socially inclusive management at local level.

Objective: CSOs and activists in eight municipalities from eight regions are encouraged to cooperate with the local government and participate in the processes of decision making via promotion of positive examples and initiating new joint actions.
