[VIRTUAL] Governance and Civic Participation (210901)

Feedback form is now closed.

Civic participation enhances the effectiveness of governance and serves as a core foundation to building people-centered regulations and data management. It enhances the prospects of building consensus on key policies, leading to more effective policy implementation and strengthening the relationship between citizens and government. Participation fosters accountability of policy makers, leading to better governance and thus better policies responding to people's needs and demands. The session features practitioners from multilateral banks, regional organizations, cooperatives, and civic organizations. They will discuss ways in which citizen participation can help shape regional tech governance and people-centered digital regulations.
