Democratic Governance

We aim to promote transparency, integrity,  and accountability to help in rebuilding trust in democratic institutions.

Democracy and governance reinforce each other and are essential for preventing conflicts, promoting stability, managing crises, facilitating economic and social progress, and creating the conditions conducive to sustainable respect for human rights and the rule of law. ACER aims to strengthen participatory democracy in Albania by contributing in empowering civil society and encouraging young people to actively take part in the decision-making process, and by improving a supportive legal and financial environment for civil society.
