At this stage we collected data to better understand the existing situation in Sokolka Council. The materials refer to organised activities and structures, regulations on anticorruption and conflict of interest, openess and transparency. We also elaborated a report on the existing situation, as a starting point for the participatory diagnosis. The report is titled ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURE, FIELDS OF ACTIVITIES AND PERSONNEL PROCESSES. This report is on activities, structure, people in charge and process of recruitment in the Sokolka City Council. Report was prepared for our internal needs to recognize the situation and create materials for the second workshop.

The Planning Meeting

On March, 16-17 we organized the Planning Meeting with Ana Vasilache and Nicole Rata from FPDL to design in detail the participatory planning process. Our target group was PAP Practitionners. In particular, we defined steps, specific objectives, content and methodology. We discussed with FPDL/WBI Tutors all the points of the project, when we should meet and when their presence would be most appropriate. We think that Tutors’ experience was really helpful in setting our targets.
