Back Recommendation on the evaluation, auditing and monitoring of participation and participation policies at local and regional level

Adopted on: 11 March 2009

In this document, the Committee of Ministers recommends to the member states of the Council of Europe to co-operate with local and regional authorities and other stakeholders, including associations of local authorities; to undertake or step up work to evaluate democratic participation and its impact at local and regional levels; and to use fully their potential for raising citizens’ awareness and understanding of the functioning of democracy and encouraging their greater participation in it. In this process, the Committee of Ministers encourages the member states to use the CLEAR tool, which is appended to the document. CLEAR is a diagnostic tool aimed at first identifying particular strengths and problems of participation in local authorities and subsequently defining more comprehensive strategies for enhancing public participation.
