Council of local communities of the City of Doboj

Summary of the project implemented by Association of citizens With tolerance against diversity (TOPEER) 

The development strategy and quality of work of public administration depends on the model of organizing local communities – MZ. The city of Doboj, like most local self-government units, does not have an organized, through management system, coordination of the work of the Ministry of Health. The consequences are far-reaching because the involvement of citizens in decision-making processes is minimal, the unequal relationship of local communities, the lack of responsibility of the councils of these organizations, the lack of interest of citizens in local development and the lack of interest of councilors in the City Assembly in problems in certain areas.
