Consultations
Thematic Stakeholder ConsultationsFourteen stakeholder consultations were carried out in September and October 2020 to collaborate with civil society towards the development of OGP commitments. Consultations were lead by the lead focal point institutions (LFPs) of each of the components. To promote the active involvement of stakeholders with an interest in the policy areas of focus the LFPs utilized the list of registered civil society organizations (CSOs) compiled by the Agency for Support of Civil Society in order to identify and contact all CSOs whose focus is either directly or indirectly related to their policy area of focus.
To encourage informed participation the focal point of the point of contact institution (POC) coordinated with the LFP to conduct thematic stakeholder consultations with brief informative presentations to facilitate stakeholder dialogue and contribution. In these the LFPs explained the relevant details of their agency’s work and suggested reform ideas and recommendations for the action plan and in most consultations the POC would also present in order to outline the concept of OGP, outline Albania’s approach, present relevant examples from other countries and the ways in which stakeholders can contribute.
After each consultation the LFP completed a consultation report. For detailed information and all documents related to each of the consultation please click the components or for just the reports see below:
