Organisations of persons with disabilities have a very important role in advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities (PWDs) and integrating persons with disabilities into mainstream society. It is therefore important to include them in policy development at both local and national levels.

This project aims to contribute to greater involvement of organisations of persons with disabilities and PWDs in the development and implementation of policies in the area of disability at the national level. This is of great importance for further improvement of the quality of life and status of persons with disabilities in Montenegro.

The project resulted in the establishment of a functional network of organisations of persons with disabilities for advocacy for the rights of PWDs, as well as a mechanism for monitoring the Strategy for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities from Discrimination and the Promotion of Equality.

Also, the project raised public awareness of the importance of involving PWDs in decision-making processes in Montenegro.

Grants

Common money – common responsibility

Implemented by the NGO Natura, with an aim to increase the level of knowledge and information of NGO sector and citizens in Kolašin on public spending at local level. During its implementation period, a local campaign on participatory budgeting was conducted and a budget for citizens of Kolašin Municipality was prepared, published and printed. Moreover, two trainings on citizens’ participation in decision making on budget planning and spending, were organised for 30 participants from the local municipality, media and NGO representatives.

How is our budget spent? (Non)Public spending in Montenegro

It was implemented by the Centre for Investigative Journalism, with an aim to improve oversight and transparency of public spending at the national level. This was achieved by expert analysis, investigative articles and regular public dissemination of information on public expenditure, public debt structure and projects financed from the capital budget.

Three investigative journalism articles on public debt and infrastructure projects were prepared and published in printed and online media.
