Project Summary
The CIVITEC project aims to make democracy more participatory, inclusive, and responsive by enhancing citizen involvement through new digital tools and processes.
Civic technology, often referred to as Civic Tech, plays a pivotal role in enhancing engagement and public participation across various levels of governance. By facilitating the co-creation of strategies and policies, it fosters dynamic shifts in the relationship between citizens and public institutions, revitalizing democratic processes.
Project partners will refine policies and identify a diverse array of emerging digital tools, and process methodologies aimed at amplifying citizen and community participation within the framework of a free and democratic society: strengthening the transparency, accountability, and capacity of local governments and augmenting citizen and stakeholder involvement in decision-making and policy implementation processes.
