Political parties in Western Balkans lack effective oversight and compliance mechanisms. Also, even when there are formally established mechanisms, often these are not fully enforced. Therefore, parties fail to prevent corruptive and dishonest behavior of party members and elected officials, resulting in the declining trust of citizens in political institutions and processes and frequent political scandals and affairs.
This training aims to: 1) To provide space for participants to identify internal deficits and gaps that would make political corruption and unethical behavior possible; 2) To support participants to respond to identify deficits and gaps by drafting possible oversight and compliance mechanisms that could be effectively applied in the party and 3) To allow participants to discuss strategies for encouraging the party's key decision-makers to commit to taking action to address oversight and compliance gaps.
