Networked Governance

Networked governance refers to a collaborative approach to decision-making that involves various stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, non-profits, and citizens. Instead of a traditional, top-down hierarchy, it emphasizes partnerships and shared responsibility. This system leverages technology and social networks to facilitate communication and collaboration, allowing for more inclusive, transparent, and effective governance. It enables different actors to work together on complex issues, pooling resources and expertise to address challenges like public health, environmental sustainability, or urban planning, ultimately aiming for better outcomes through collective action.
