The practice of using citizen engagement mechanisms in municipalities of Adjara has partially improved
Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia has requested information from the city halls and Sakrebulos of Batumi, Khulo, Keda, Shuakhevi, Kobuleti and Khelvachauri municipalities to determine to what extent the existing legislation supports citizen engagement, whether municipal authorities make use of the opportunities provided by the legislation and with what issues the citizens address the local self-government.
“This study shows that compared to previous years, municipalities in Adjara have been using the mechanisms of citizen engagement more effectively: the possibility of submitting petitions electronically in Keda, Kobuleti, Khelvachauri and Batumi is particularly noteworthy, however, according to Transparency International Georgia, the following steps need to be considered to further improve citizen engagement”.
