In addition to the above information, the platform will be enriched throughout the implementation of the initiative with information on the activities of the network or the activities developed of interest to the citizens, the documents drafted by the network or in the framework of the implementation of the project (Whistleblowing Digital Package, monitoring reports, manuals, alternatives CSOs reports, public perception reports, etc), activities or initiatives/joint positions of CSOs of the network, awareness campaigns or citizen information, etc.;
As part of the creation of a digital space to serve as an interactive communication, cooperation and advocacy tool between actors, the platform will also contain:
- Discussion forum of CSOs anti-corruption network and relevant anti-corruption institutions. Each CSO or institution will have to register on the platform and will be identified. They will have access to a dedicated space of the platform where communication in chat or online meetings with network members and institutions will be possible as needed.
- Forum for citizens and businesses that enables them to express their opinions, submit questions or request information on reporting a corruption case, to be notified of activities that have in focus citizens, etc. An integral part of the platform will also be a dedicated space for public perception.
- So, the platform will allow citizens to leave their evaluation regarding the steps that are being taken for the fight against corruption, in order to measure the public perception in this regard.
Consulting the designed platform with the CSOs members of anti-corruption network, relevant anti-corruption institutions, media, businesses and citizens
In order to present and consult the platform idea (the online concept idea of the platform), its purpose and the documentation and information it will contain, ALTRI will organize 3 open forums. One forum will be held with CSOs members of the anti-corruption network, the second one with relevant institutions and the third with other stakeholders such as, media, business and citizens. The purpose of the forums is not only the presentation of the platform, but also the assessment of stakeholders’ expectations from such an information and communication space, as well as collecting their suggestions for improving the content and organization of the platform. ALTRI will also take care to avoid overlapping of the information prepared with what already exists on other platforms.
Establishment and the functioning of the platform
Following the discussions in the open forums with CSOs, institutions and other stakeholders, ALTRI will finalize the platform idea and will collaborate with the IT experts to technically build the platform. The package with the information materials prepared by ALTRI and with the identified documents will be included in the platform in the relevant sections. ALTRI will also take care of completing the information with the requests for information presented
during the development of the forums. It is expected that at least 50 CSOs will be registered on the platform to be part of the anti-corruption network, 50 representatives of the CAN/AGD and targeted institutions, 50 representatives from the business and media, as well as 2000-3000 citizens.
