Description

Short description Developing tools to support participatory decision-making in Italian PAs through guidelines for consultations and appropriate technological solutions. General objective Develop a national policy to disseminate and ensure the methodological soundness of participatory decision-making in different administrative contexts, with a special focus on consultations. Current situation During the last years, many civic participation initiatives were developed in our country (i.e. petitions and consultations). However, these were not always supported by an adequate method and were often discontinuous. This approach has frustrated the expectations of civil society and did not allow to rip the benefits of the involvement of stakeholders in decision-making processes. Expected results Thanks to the contribution of administrations and civil society, and building on the experiences already carried out in this sector, we will be able to develop effective models and tools to manage participatory processes, disseminating good practices. The participation strategy is aimed at improving the quality of decision-making processes, ensuring the delivery of commitments by the different administrations and, consequently, increasing trust in institutions.
