Description

What is the public problem that the commitment will address?: The Philippine government promotes partnership between the government and its citizens to achieve reforms in the country. However, a government that is disconnected with its citizens often fails to produce effective programs and efficient services.; What is the commitment?: E-Participation in the National Government Portal (www.gov.ph) is a set of online tools that is programmed to redefine the relationship between the government and its citizens. The tools provide access to government information, space for consultation, and a platform for collaboration. E-Participation has three components: 1. E-Information, which arms citizens with open data and public information, without demand; 2. E-Consultation, which engages citizens in contributions and deliberations to public policies and services; 3. E-Decision- Making, which empowers citizens to co-design policies and co-produce government service components; How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem?: The National Government portal aims to increase citizen participation in the government’s decision-making and service delivery process by making available e-participation tools to all stakeholders. This promotes and enhances communication and interaction between government and citizens. The intended result of the commitment is to create a socially inclusive government, specifically, making governance more responsive and transparent, creating aligned government priorities to citizen needs, establishing more informed strategies in designing and implementing services to both general and targeted audiences, and creating an effective public policy and service delivery environment.; Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values?: Advancements in ICT and the increased availability of multiple and open channels of communication paves the way for increased and widespread participation of citizens in government activities. By leveraging these channels and creating a consolidated platform, we allow both sectors to contribute and collaborate on many aspects – in governance, in policy making, decision making, and in solving complex national problems. The www.gov.ph centers on three modes of participation – eInformation, which deals with provision of information on the Internet, e-Consultation, which is about organization of public consultations online, and e-Decision Making, which involves citizens directly in the decision process, all of which are relevant to the OGP values of access to information, civic participation, and technology and innovation for openness and accountability.; Additional information: This is in line with Chapter 5 of the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 on Ensuring People-Centered, Clean, and Efficient Governance.
