More than 75 activists and experts from civil society organisations and citizens from Shkodra and Vlora discussed issues regarding transparency and accountability in education and health in Albania.
Rigels Xhemollari and Dhimiter Zguro from Civic Resistance presented the main challenges in education resulting from monitoring the strategy in education.
Alma Lahe, project manager at Together from Life, highlighted some of the issues arising from monitoring the health strategy.
Bylyre Serjanaj, project coordinator at BIRN Albania and Gjergj Erebara, journalist, shared the findings of the monitoring of transparency and accessibility in eight regional directorates of the educational and health system, emphasizing the need for urgent reforms and clear responsibilities on the part of these institutions.
These events were supported by the SPACE project – “Support Participation, Accountability and Civil Society Empowerment” – implemented by Together for Life (TFL) in partnership with BIRN Albania, Civic Resistance and Destiny Center for Excellence, and financed by European Union.
The main objective of the SPACE project is supporting CSOs to play oversight/watchdog and monitoring roles in the field of good governance and, on the other hand, to advocate, educate and raise awareness for better governance.
