Changes at "Participatory Local Democracy"

Avatar: Nil Nil

Title (English)

  • +Participatory Local Democracy

Body (English)

  • +The International Observatory on Participatory Democracy (IOPD) is a consultative mechanism of UCLG that brings together cities, organizations and research centres with an interest in learning about, exchanging and applying experiences on participatory democracy at local level. It organizes an annual conference and awards prizes for good practices in citizen participation. We also work on an agenda to deepen local democracy and policies for social, economic, ecological and cultural transformation through the active participation of citizens.

  • +Democracy cannot afford to exclude half of the population, so participatory processes must include a gender perspective in their design and implementation. We will continue to prioritize and raise awareness on this essential issue for the feminist municipal movement.
