Connect the Dots: Improved policies through civic participation

The project focuses on strengthening civic participation, advocacy and cooperation between civil society organisations, media and institutions for more effective and inclusive policy-making.

“Connect the Dots: Improved policies through civic participation” is a project aimed at strengthening the capacities of civil society organisations for lobbying, advocacy and active participation in policy-making processes.

The project encourages communication and cooperation between civil society, media, institutions and decision-makers, so that public policies are more open, inclusive and focused on citizens’ needs.

The project develops public interest campaigns, advocacy and lobbying resources, and activities to engage different stakeholders. Particular focus is placed on the campaign “Clear it all up”, which addresses sustainable water management, the protection of natural resources and the need for more effective inspection oversight.

The project also contributes to the development of public interest journalism and environmental journalism through the platforms Samo prashaj and Doma, as well as to broader regional cooperation and greater pluralism of views through Res Publica and Doma.
