The LDA Subotica was established in 1993, as the first Local Democracy Agency. Its main programmes are focused on capacity building, awareness raising, and advocacy actions intended for three main target groups – policy and decision makers at local level, civil society organisations, youth and women’s groups in particular. Educating for democratic citizenship, promoting intercultural dialogue, regional cooperation, cross-sectoral partnership building for local sustainable development are the main types of activities, including networking at regional and European level. Its main priorities include advocating for democratic governance and participation and getting the accession negotiation process with the EU closer to citizens in local communities in Serbia and in multicultural Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in particular.
