Good governance
Democracy Plus is committed to embedding the principles of good governance, transparency, public accountability, and citizen participation into Kosovo’s governance culture at both the central and local levels. By fostering open, efficient, and responsive government institutions, we work to ensure that decision-making processes reflect the needs and priorities of citizens. The Good Governance Program focuses on strengthening democratic institutions by promoting citizen engagement in policymaking, enhancing institutional transparency, and improving government accountability. Through evidence-based research, policy advocacy, and digital tools, the program supports the development of participatory governance models that empower citizens and civil society to hold decision-makers accountable. D+ actively encourages citizen engagement in governance by facilitating public consultations, fostering inclusive decision-making, and creating spaces for civic participation. Additionally, the program supports government efficiency through policy reforms, improved public service delivery, and digital innovation aimed at streamlining administrative processes.
Rule of Law
Democracy Plus is committed to ensuring the fair and effective implementation of laws in Kosovo by promoting transparency, equal treatment under the law, the independence of justice institutions, and respect for human rights. We work to enhance legal enforcement and promote institutional integrity. The Rule of Law Program focuses on monitoring legal implementation, identifying systemic challenges, and advocating for institutional reforms that improve access to justice and strengthen public accountability. This program actively works to empower citizens to demand justice, fight corruption, and improve access to public documents. By strengthening oversight mechanisms and advocating for judicial transparency, D+ ensures that legal institutions remain responsive to citizens’ needs. The program also provides legal education, raises awareness about human rights, and promotes civic participation in legal and governance processes, fostering a culture of accountability and strengthening the justice system.
Political Parties and Elections
Democracy Plus is committed to strengthening Kosovo’s democratic processes by enhancing the transparency, accountability, and internal capacities of political parties and electoral institutions. D+ supports elected officials, party members, and candidates in developing leadership skills, improving policy formulation, and promoting ethical political behavior. The program conducts research on political party financing, electoral integrity, and adherence to democratic principles to ensure greater accountability in the political system. D+ has also developed the digital platform Kosovo Elections Results Portal, which provides accessible and user-friendly overviews of election results and candidate performance nationwide. Recognizing the importance of youth participation in democracy, the program also implements educational initiatives encouraging young people to engage in political discourse, understand electoral processes, and participate in decision-making. By fostering a culture of informed civic participation, D+ supports a new generation of responsible voters and political leaders. The program also strengthens electoral integrity by advocating for fair electoral practices and ensuring that political parties operate with higher standards of transparency and accountability.
