Local Participatory Governance

Local Participatory Governance refers to the practice of involving community members in decision-making processes at the local level. In the context of Participatory Democracy, it emphasizes that citizens have a direct role in shaping policies and programs that affect their lives. This can include public forums, discussions, and collaborative projects where residents express their needs and ideas. The goal is to ensure that governance is more transparent, accountable, and responsive to the community, fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment among citizens in their local government.
