Empowered Participatory Governance

Empowered Participatory Governance is a process where citizens actively engage in decision-making and oversight of public functions. It aims to give communities a real voice, allowing them to influence policies, manage resources, and hold authorities accountable. This approach fosters shared responsibility, transparency, and collaboration between government and people, ensuring that development reflects the community’s needs and priorities. It promotes inclusive participation beyond voting, encouraging citizens to be involved in planning, implementation, and evaluation of services and projects for more effective and responsive governance.
