We build capacity, that is, we help civil society organisations and individual citizens, especially women, youth and disadvantaged groups, to voice their concerns, influence policy and make the government respect their rights and address their needs.
We encourage citizens to actively participate in decision making processes and hold local authorities and service providers accountable. We also advocate for the transfer of government functions to the local level.
We campaign for the disclosure of public information on critical issues at both the local and the national level, and we keep up our advocacy efforts for the law on access to public information to be finally passed by Parliament.
Beside trainings, API also offers various other on-demand capacity building and consulting services tailored for the needs of civil society and community based organisations.
