engage citizens through e-participation.

Expected Accomplishments

Some Recommendations (past)

More needs to be done in the awareness raising and

outreach.

It is necessary to define rules of citizens’ engagement.

When opening up data, skills of data analytics should

be developed and shared with the public.

The domination of a supply-driven approach should be

replaced with the demand-driven attitude towards e-

participation.

Consultations need to be fully transparent and open.

Governments should use those platforms/channels

which are used by citizens rather than creating new

ones.

Feedback on consultations should be provided to

citizens.

Develop comprehensive guidelines to promote both

agencies’ capacity and public awareness in e-

participation.

Establish new and maintain existing links with other

countries along with various partnerships to hear

about new experience, arising challenges and ways

to address it.

Commitment for 12 month plan to foster e-

participation in the country.

Launch a pilot e-participation program in at least one

governmental body (preferably, one ministry or

agency and one regional administration).
