Involving Citizens
in Decision Making
by strengthening
local government
A strong social contract between citizens and their local governments will have a positive impact on local security, on social and economic development, on the quality of life. Inclusive decision-making, involving all, including vulnerable groups, and taking the specific needs of specific groups into account, is a prerequisite for a strong social contract.
Our projects aim to strengthen inclusive decision-making and social accountability. We help local governments and stakeholders build trust and confidence in working together, by facilitating that they meet and understand each other’s roles, by providing training, guidance and tools, and the setting up of municipal information and resource centres, etc.
