Guide on Citizen Initiatives in Local Governance

Empowering Citizens: A Guide to Local Legislative Initiatives

The guide has been developed to assist citizens and civil society organizations and strengthen their capacities, enabling them to undertake initiatives to improve their communities as indispensable actors in safeguarding their rights. It aims to explain the types of initiatives that exist at the local level, how such initiatives can be implemented, and the steps citizens can take to successfully implement citizen initiatives in their cities.
