Cooperation for local development

It is very important for the local self-government to ensure the involvement of the population in the decision-making process from the representative and executive bodies, the publicity of the planning of daily and strategic activities, the implementation of these activities and their monitoring. Despite the fact that the mayor and members of the city council are delegated by the population to ensure local management during their term of office, both the "Local Self-Government Code", as well as the Association Agreement with Europe and the European Charter of the Self-Government obligated them to constantly involve the population in the decision-making process, and transparency of activities. What does a specific settlement need, the people of this village know the village the most. But in reality, the population is not involved in the decision-making process. His opinion is more or less taken into account only in relation to rural support programs and that too at the planning stage, not during implementation monitoring and reporting. Beneficiaries' participation in the planning process of infrastructural, social, youth and sports programs is very limited and is calculated only for those current needs, which the member of the Sakrebulo, the mayor's representative in the administrative unit and/or the mayo's departments considered to solve. There is also a very low degree of involvement of the population in the process of monitoring the works performed in the villages by the municipalities. It remains completely unknown to the locals exactly what the taxpayers' money was spent on, how much the work or service performed meets the quality standards.

The goal of the project "Cooperation for local development" is to promote the public monitoring process in the villages of Lanchkhuti and Chokhatauri municipalities and to promote the development of villages with the public participation, which in turn will improve the responsibility of local self-governments, will make their policies more oriented to the local population and will support increase the level of population involvement. To achieve this goal, the implementation of the following tasks is envisaged:
