Description
Background and objectives
Public consultation activities addressed to citizens in general or to specific categories, can cover the different phases of public policy-making from drafting to implementation and assessment.
Consultations help public decision-makers to make better decisions. In particular, they are important to:
- open decision-making processes to the relevant stakeholders, taking into account the opinion of all potential beneficiaries of public policies or measures;
- regain citizens’ trust towards institutions and decision-making processes;
- meet the demand from citizens who want greater individual commitment and the possibility to take action;
- address the intrinsic limits of traditional decision-making processes that can generate conflicts at local level due to the inability to involve the different actors and the local communities;
- share with citizens public policies’ objectives and tools.
The biggest obstacle to participation lies in the fact that consultation activities are carried out by Italian central and local public administrations sporadically, autonomously and with different quality levels.
Commitments
Activities to support participation are aimed at promoting the use of quality public consultations among Italian public administrations.
A first step in this direction will be dedicated to citizens thanks to the establishment of a dedicated portal which will become the point of access to consultations organized by public administrations. Citizens wishing to participate in consultations will have a single place to visit and receive alerts. The portal would help support, through specific editorial staff, the dissemination of consultation initiatives and the compliance with consultation quality standards by public administrations. To this end, practical guidelines inspired by the best international practices will be produced.
Special attention will be given to administrations by offering open-source consultation, setting up a dedicated help desk and providing specific training to public employees.
Another step at regional level will be developing the macro objective “participation”, meaning the transition from mere transparency to active citizen participation at local level. Citizens will be able to access data and information through dedicated digital platforms. This will concretely help promote the dissemination of information to form an opinion or a point of view that can be discussed, thus starting a virtuous circle of exchange and shared decision-making.
