Description
Launching electronic platform I-change (www.ichange.ge) for e-petitions will increase civic engagement in public policy; it will enhance transparency of government activities and decisions and will further stimulate interrelation between the government and Georgian society.
The portal will enable citizens to initiate e-petitions on the issues within the competencies of the Government (Law on the “Structure and Competence and Activities of the Government of Georgia”) and accumulating necessary number of signatures will be discussed at the Cabinet Session.
Administration of the Government of Georgia will be leading and coordinating the process with different public agencies involved in the implementation of the commitment. To ensure involvement of all relevant agencies, a special working group will be created and meet regularly to plan and review the progress achieved. The working group will consist of the representatives from the Ministry of Justice of Georgia, LEPL Data Exchange Agency, the Parliament, the Civil Service Bureau, NGOs, and international organizations.
Work on e-petitions’ portal will be concluded and the portal will be launched in 2015.
