Oregon's Collaborative Governance Program

Oregon's Collaborative Governance Program is a process that brings together government agencies, community members, organizations, and stakeholders to work collectively on complex issues. Rather than making decisions unilaterally, these groups collaborate through structured dialogue, shared objectives, and mutual understanding. The goal is to create effective, sustainable solutions that consider diverse perspectives and expertise. This approach fosters transparency, trust, and better policy outcomes by encouraging active participation from all interested parties in decision-making processes that affect their communities and environments.
