Open governance at the local level is essential for promoting democracy, improving the quality of governance and ensuring that the needs and interests of communities are effectively addressed. Efforts for open governance at the local level include promoting transparency, accountability and citizen participation in decision-making processes. This includes initiatives such as citizen engagement in policy making and the implementation of mechanisms for public oversight. Building trust and promoting cooperation between government and civil society are key components for successful open governance at the local level. This discussion, which is held during Open Government Week, aims to explore the current situation and the approach of the municipality of Gjakova for open governance and continuous cooperation with civil society.
