European Association for Local Democracy

What makes ALDA's work unique is that it is based on the method of multilateral decentralised cooperation.

This method involves a multi-stakeholder approach, which focuses on strong partnerships between local authorities and civil society organinisations.

These partnerships create positive synergy and ensure that common goals are reached jointly and successfully.

In the framework of promoting good governance and citizen participation at the local level ALDA works in various themes, such as European integration, decentralisation, civic initiatives and volunteering, human rights, and sustainable economic development.
