Local government
| | Class number: | 352.140 | | Abstract: | Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative (LGI), as one of the programs of the Open Society Institute (OSI), is an international development and grant-giving organization dedicated to the support of good governance in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Newly Independent States (NIS). LGI seeks to fulfill its mission through the initiation of research and support of development and operational activities in the fields of decentralization, public policy formation and the reform of public administration. With projects running in countries covering the region between the Czech Republic and Mongolia, LGI seeks to achieve its objectives through:
* Development of sustainable regional networks of institutions and professionals engaged in policy analysis, reform-oriented traning and advocacy;
* Support and dissemination of in-depth comparative and regionally applicable policy studies tackling local government issues;
* Support of country-specific projects and delivery of technical assistance to the implementation agencies;
* Assistance to Soros foundations with the development of local government, public administration and/or public policy programs in their countries of the region;
* Publication of books, studies and discussion papers dealing with the issues of decentralization, public administration, good governance, public policy and lessons learned from the process of transition in these areas;
* Development of curricula and organization of training programs dealing with specific local government issues;
* Support of policy centers and think tanks in the region.
Apart from its own projects, LGI works closely with a number of other international organizations (Council of Europ, Department for International Development, USAID, UDNP and the World Bank) and co-funds larger regional initiatives aimed at the support of reforms on the sub national level. Local Government Information Network (LOGIN) and Fiscal Decentralization Initiatives (FDI) are two main examples of this cooperation. | | Contents note: | Emilia Kandeva: Introduction to comparative local government in central and Eastern Europe : a Balkan perspective; Artan Hoxha: Local government in Albania; Charles Jokay: Local government in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Emilia Drumeva: Local government in Bulgaria; Stjepan Ivanisevic, Ivan Kopric, Jasna Omejec, Jure Simovic: Local government in Croatia; Ilja Todorovski: Local Government in the Macedonia; Liubomir Chiriac, Igor Munteanu, Victor Popa, Victor Mocanu: Local government in Moldova; Pena Coman, Eugen Crai, Monica Radulescu, Gabriella Stanciulescu: Local government in Romanial; Zeljko Sevic: Local government in Yugoslavia; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=15747 |
