The Advocacy Center is dedicated to enhance citizens and community influence in the process of policy creation and decision making.

The Advocacy Centers’ team believes that the citizens’ organizations and the citizens are the only ones who truly know the real conditions in society and that they are the key factor which should participate in the policy creation and decision making processes. That`s why, the Center supports their ideas and initiatives through advocating for them and speaks up for their efforts to reach their goals. We believe that the best results are achieved by learning through new joint experiences and exchange of good practices, and by investing in citizens and their skills, knowledge and power.

The goal of the Advocacy Center is to contribute towards more informed and active citizens and towards sustained community participation in the policy creation and decision making processes.
