Open Source Governance

Open Source Governance in the context of Participatory Democracy refers to a collaborative approach where citizens actively engage in decision-making processes through open, transparent systems. Just like open-source software allows anyone to contribute, share, and improve a project, open source governance encourages public participation in creating and refining policies and community initiatives. This method fosters accountability, inclusivity, and innovation, enabling diverse voices to shape governance collaboratively. By leveraging technology and open data, it empowers citizens to have a direct impact on their communities, promoting a more democratic and responsive society.
