Nine Albanian civil society organizations working to support the Open Government Partnership (OGP) in Albania announced the creation of a new coalition to support open government at IDM’s conference on December 5th.

The Albanian CSO Coalition on OGP is committed to improve the OGP Albania Process by upholding the value of openness in governments’ engagement with citizens to improve services, manage public resources, promote innovation, and create safer communities, according to IDM.

This coalition is open for organizations that share the same values.

The announcement came at a one-day IDM conference held in Tirana that brought together representatives of NGOs and officials to discuss the status of open government in Albania. Click to read The Declaration of the OGP CSO Coalition
