Постоянная приверженность надлежащему управлению: публикация ELoGE вышла!

Программа ELoGE — Европейский знак качества управления — это программа, созданная Советом Европы в качестве набора инструментов для измерения надлежащего управления и демократии, в рамках которой муниципалитеты оцениваются по уровню местного управления в соответствии с 12 принципами надлежащего демократического управления, установленными Совет Европы.

ELoGE опирается на партнерство между Советом Европы и существующей авторитетной региональной, национальной или транснациональной организацией или специальной платформой, обладающей существенными ноу-хау, знаниями или опытом в области надлежащего управления, особенно на местном уровне. 

ALDA, имея в основе своей миссии демократию и надлежащее управление, была аккредитована для реализации программы в различных муниципалитетах Хорватии, Косово* и Северной Македонии и успешно поддерживала их, предоставляя рекомендации, консультации и обучение.

Цель этой публикации — проинформировать читателей о методологии ALDA и результатах, полученных в рамках программы ELoGE в вышеупомянутых странах, а также дать хорошее представление о внутреннем функционировании и этапах программы.

Europe and its next steps: ALDA for the Conference on the Future of Europe

As emerged from all the initiatives, ALDA is strongly advocating not only for a closer collaboration between CSOs and institutions but also for a greater citizens’ involvement. Hence, the Association will further stress the importance of participatory democracy;  while urging for an electoral reform as well as accountability assurance as resulted from the surveys undertaken within the CSOCoFoE.

ALDA is very much in favour of this bottom-up democratic approach, and it congratulates all the institutions, organisations, partners and members which also actively participated in the CoFoE
