ISP 'Sami Frashëri'

The "Sami Frasheri" Institute is an initiative-based, non-profit, civil society organisation that is dedicated to advancing democratic governance, government accountability, the rule of law, and civic participation through the production of highly-relevant knowledge and innovative initiatives, which emphasise critical thinking and the facilitation of informed decision-making among policymakers and

the broader public. Our mission is to provide a platform for conducting cutting-edge research on political science, international relations, and related fields, with a particular emphasis on democratic governance, civic participation, government accountability, the rule of law, and human rights. We seek to develop and deliver comprehensive educational programs and resources that promote evidence-based decision-making among policymakers, academics, and the general public, while also encouraging the development of informed policy choices among interest groups. We place a strong emphasis on utilizing the latest advances in information technology to promote active citizenry, and to enhance government accountability through citizen participation in the legislative and public policy-making process. Additionally, we strive to promote a culture of donations that contribute to enhancing democratic culture through increased citizen participation in public life. Our approach involves an input-output methodology in which we track public policy initiatives from the proposal phase through to implementation. We facilitate an open and critical discussion between experts and academia and encourage active citizen participation in the policymaking process. To achieve our goals, we engage with policymakers, civil society organizations, media outlets, and the general public to foster greater understanding and cooperation among different sectors of society. We also disseminate our research findings, educational materials, and policy recommendations to a wide audience, including policymakers, academics, civil society organizations, and the general public. At the heart of our approach is a focus on combining learning with policy output, promoting civic engagement and government accountability, and utilizing high levels of expertise to produce state-of-the-art policy solutions. We believe that these efforts will help to create a more informed and engaged citizenry, and ultimately lead to a more just and prosperous society.
