Supporting good governance for greater transparency and accountability of public institutions

The project encouraged public debate and citizen participation in matters of public interest through media platforms, analytical content and journalistic formats that contribute to greater transparency and accountability of public institutions.

The project “Supporting good governance for greater transparency and accountability of public institutions” aimed to strengthen citizen participation in public debate and open space for informed discussion of issues of public interest.

Through various media platforms, the project contributed to greater visibility of topics related to good governance, public policy, institutional accountability, civic participation and environmental protection.

The first component of the project was the academic blog Res Publica, which regularly published blogs, vlogs and video podcasts. The platform provided space for analysis, expert opinion and reasoned public debate on social, political, media and communication issues.

The second component, Samo prashaj, aimed to involve citizens directly through video reports, photo stories and video answers to questions citizens sent via social media. In this way, the platform connected the public with relevant topics and institutional responses, encouraging greater transparency and accountability.

The project also developed Doma, which started as a sub-page of Samo prashaj and in 2019 continued as a separate online platform. Doma publishes video documentaries, photo stories and educational resources on the environment, biodiversity, sustainable practices and environmental awareness.

In this way, the project contributed to the development of public interest journalism, environmental journalism and better communication on topics important for transparency, accountability and the public interest.
