Public Forum POP 2019—Tirana

25.6.2019 In order to measure civic opinion between March and April 2019, forums with community representatives were organized within the Municipality of Tirana. The meetings were attended by men, women, girls, and boys representing marginalized groups and active citizens. They evaluated the performance of the Municipality through scoring and identified the needs and priorities of the citizens.

In the forums, 25 issues pertaining to four main areas that directly affect the local community were discussed. These four areas are: 1. Public services; 2. Local economic development; 3. The social dimension; and 4. Local democracy.

The Gender Alliance for Development Center, the leading organization of the POP network on 25.6.2019 organized the Public Forum in which the main priorities selected by the community were presented to the Candidate for Mayor in Tirana, Mr. Erion Veliaj. After presenting the priorities and discussions for each of them, the forum was finalized by the signing of the Social Contract.
