Governance and citizenship

The International Observatory on Participatory Democracy (IOPD) invites local government to participate to its 9th Distinction Distinction of “Best Practice in Citizen Participation”. With this distinction, the IOPD recognises projects aiming, for instance, leading to better results in the domain of gender equality or at promoting transparency in the decision-making process. 
 
Candidates are free to apply until 29 November. The ceremony to deliver the distinction will take place in March 2015.
 
Further information and the necessary application form are available on the IODP website.
