About Democracy Plus

We are an independent, non-profit organization founded in 2016. Committed to fostering a democratic society in Kosovo, our mission is centered on increasing citizen participation in political processes, promoting accountability, and influencing decision-making at all levels of governance. We leverage the power of information technology to advance these efforts, advocating for the use of digital tools to democratize and modernize our society. Our work contributes to the establishment of good governance practices in public institutions at both the central and local levels, strengthening the rule of law, advancing political parties, and supporting free and fair electoral processes. Through policy research, public dialogue, and education, our initiatives aim to bridge the gap between decision-makers and citizens. Above all, we champion democratic values and practices, empowering the voices of Kosovo’s citizens and fostering a more inclusive and participatory society.

Media Literacy Platform

The Media Literacy Platform developed by Democracy Plus (D+) is an innovative tool created to empower citizens in the fight against misinformation. This platform offers interactive online courses aimed at equipping citizens with the skills to identify and protect themselves from disinformation, enhancing their critical thinking and ability to analyze the information they consume.

In addition to the educational courses, the platform includes the Disinformation Vulnerability Index for Kosovo, a unique resource that identifies the most vulnerable areas to disinformation. The Index provides a comprehensive analysis of existing challenges and recommends appropriate measures for citizens and institutions, helping to build effective strategies to combat this concerning phenomenon..

This platform is an important step towards accurate information and strengthening resistance to disinformation, thus contributing to a more informed and resilient society in Kosovo.
