The main goal of the project is not only to give community residents the opportunity to take part in community processes, but also to make them active participants in those processes. Meetings with the population of the communities will be organized during the implementation of the program. The online system developed during the project allows you to make suggestions for improving services as well as implementing new programs in the community.
