Following the commitment to facilitate the consultation process with the sector, after the announcement for public consultation of the “Manual of public participation in the decision-making process of the Assembly” by the Assembly of the Republic of Albania, National Resource Centre for Civil Society and the Institute for Democracy and Mediation (IDM) organized a consultation meeting with CSOs.

The online meeting took place in early February, with the participation of about 30 representatives of NPOs who discussed the manual and addressed issues or shortcomings in the document. As part of the meeting, CSOs shared their opinions and experiences of recent years on their participation in decision-making processes in the Assembly.
