Description

Short description Enabling participation and collaboration, and promoting forms of shared administration, involving citizens in strategic decisions and in planning actions for the city, through the use of open data and information systems. General objective Foster citizens’ active collaboration thanks to transparency and accessibility of information on the work of the administration. Make it possible for citizens to know, control and evaluate the work of the City Council and of the whole municipal administration. Current situation The administration suffers from a lack of transparency and citizens’ trust. A tool like the open data portal is little known and does not allow for real data use and reuse. Activities for the development of digital skills are lacking and this makes it more difficult to have widespread web participation practices and civil society’s engagement (except for some city districts), with dedicated tools and spaces. The main goal is involving citizens and “city-users” to lay the ground for open government and create the consensus and collaboration needed to implement these actions. Expected results The main results include: involving citizens by drafting a communication plan on participation rights and opportunities; a participation literacy program using digital technologies; creating a public space on the web site of Roma Capitale; setting up the Permanent Innovation Board; transparency activities and tools regarding the actions carried out by the administration; availability of highly significant open data, with the administration’s commitment towards reuse.
