Equally, the project aims to strengthen citizen participation in the decision-making processes at the local level and increase their access to information, effectively increasing the transparency of the local governance system. In 2020 according to annual work plan IPSD prepared several analytical reports and policy papers, drafts of legislative acts in local governance.
