The Association of the Local Democracy Agencies

The Association of the Local Democracy Agencies (ALDA) is a European non-governmental organisation supporting active citizenship and participatory democracy in all areas of local governance. What began in 1999 as a small initiative of the Council of Europe’s Congress of Local and Regional Authorities to coordinate a network of Local Democracy Agencies (LDAs) already in existence since 1993, grew into one of the major European stakeholders dealing with citizens’ participation and human rights at the local, regional or European level. ALDA’s main partners and members include local and regional authorities, civil society organisations, and universities.
