Assessing and monitoring the interaction between local government and the central government devolved agencies in exercising the common functions

It's the latest research project on local government issues IDRA is being carried out in partnership with Institute for Democracy and Mediation, supported by Soros Foundation. This project is being implemented in four cites: Shkoder, Durres, Korce dhe Fier.This initiative is focused on the relationships and cooperation between the local government and central agencies at local level in six targeted areas. The common functions IDRA is studying include the environment protection, education, and water supply and sewerage. A number of in depth interviews in addition to the focus groups conducted helped the studying team to monitor and assess the legal, organizational, and administrative relationships as well as general performance of this cooperation. The assessment will be further completed after the round tables to be held this month. In addition, IDRA conducted the survey with local government representatives, directors and specialists of targeted institutions. The main findings report will be part of the project's final report. The project's goal is to improving cooperation at local level, good governance and help to bring quality services closer to the citizens.
