Regional Hubs
Connecting Local Action to Global Impact: Empowering communities across Africa, SouthWest Asia and Türkiye, the Western Balkans, and the Eastern Partnership
ALDA’s Regional Hubs are decentralised engines of action, designed to bring our values and methodologies closer to the communities we serve. By rooting our work in key geographic areas—Africa, SouthWest Asia and Türkiye, the Western Balkans, and the Eastern Partnership countries—we ensure that our activities respond directly to local challenges, needs, and ambitions.
Each Hub operates as a strategic antenna of ALDA, fostering synergies among stakeholders, institutions, and civil society actors on the ground. The Hubs embody our commitment to participatory democracy and sustainable development, facilitating tailor-made initiatives, capacity-building programmes, and opportunities for regional cooperation.
Beyond being operational units, the Regional Hubs are spaces for dialogue, innovation, and solidarity. They help turn local energy into structured change, and bring European values to life through meaningful, place-based engagement.
Why joining the Regional Hubs?
Joining the ALDA’s Regional Hubs means becoming part of a community that values collaboration, mutual learning, and collective impact. It’s an opportunity to work side by side with local authorities, civil society organisations, activists, and experts who share the same vision: a more inclusive, democratic, and resilient society.
As a Hub member, you gain access to a vibrant ecosystem of initiatives, calls for projects, capacity-building sessions, and advocacy tools—all adapted to your regional context. It is not only a chance to amplify your voice, but to actively shape policies and practices that affect your territory.
Ultimately, the mission of the Regional Hubs is to strengthen democratic resilience and local ownership in regions where it matters most—ensuring that citizens are not only heard, but empowered to lead lasting change.
Regional Hubs are the heartbeat of local democracy—where communities connect, collaborate, and create lasting change from the ground up.”
