Description
The report titled “A year monitoring for more transparency” sums up a one-year performance of the NGO “EC Ma Ndryshe” in monitoring the transparency of the Municipality of Prizren and a several months of performance in monitoring the transparency of the Municipality of Mamuşa/Mamushë. This paper has been produced within the “Online Transparency of Prizren and Mamuşa Municipalities” and introduces the findings related to different departments of local governments, with a special emphasis on transparency and endeavours for upgrading of this significant area of local governance as a precondition for a stable democracy. EC Ma Ndryshe’, according to legal provisions that define the right of access to public documents and for public participation in decision-making, has executed the role of the monitor by following-up, researching and reporting on the decisions and occurrences that are not in line with the law or moral obligations of good governance. During a one year period, monitoring staff of ‘EC Ma Ndryshe’ have pinpointed numerous violations in relation to local governance, which then it has addressed to the public through press releases, press conferences, debates, meantime also demanding intervention from the central level in cases when legal provisions have foreseen such a thing. During a 12 month period, monitoring staff has informed the public about the defects in urbanism, inspections, education, health, procurement, public services, transparency, finance and budget, adversely targeted investments, but also on the communication with the central level and the enforcement of legal decisions of the highest state authorities. Over time, the work of the monitoring staff was appreciated by the citizens who then started to report concerns, irregularities or legal violations at the municipal level.
