We are an independent, non-profit and non-partisan civil society organization whose mission is to enhance transparency and integrity of public life. We are particularly focused on the local level administration but we also comment on activities of the national authorities. Our activities fall into transparency, freedom of information and civic participation. In our opinion they are all necessary for healthy political system as the anti-corruption measures.

The Association of Leaders of Local Civic Group (SLLGO)  acts on the local level through the Local Civic Groups. The idea of Local Civic Groups was developed to name the local initiatives of citizens who ask questions to the local authorities on their decision making processes, monitor efficiency of public spending and enforce execution of the freedom of information. In other words they are a civic watch over the authorities’ performance. We express our judgments on the basis of the thorough monitoring of a chosen problem and we aim at improving of the situation and correcting failures identified.

We are also a member of: Anti-corruption Coalition of Polish NGOs (AKOP) and All-Poland Federation of NGOs (OFOP).
