What we did

⚫ Design and development: we developed a code based on DemocracyOS to support for citizen queries. We redesigned the graphical interface to prioritize the user experience and we implemented new functionalities such as: voting, hierarchical structuring, support, accordance gradients and multiple choice.

Consultation structed in 3 axes.

⚫ Implementation: since 2016 we have accompanied the various government areas that were involved throughout the process. The agencies that carried out the most consultations were the Ministry of Modernization, the Ministry of Transport and the Anti-Corruption Office. Thus, more than 20 consultations were published.

A citizens contribution on the consultation states “Report of good practices of the application of health phytosanitary” carried out jointly between the ministries of environment and sustainable development and agroindustry.

⚫ Training: we carried out trainings of the various government agencies involved, to promote meaningful and effective consultations to the citizens, focusing on mapping and involvement of affected communities and stakeholders. In this way, we facilitated the establishment of an open dialogue and a two-way participation.
