Description
Evaluate the creation and implementation of selected public policies carried out in a participatory manner. The current state of public participation in the creation of public policies is not satisfactory. One reason is the current legislative environment that does not allow citizens to be active in the development of strategies, legislation and regulations that directly affect their lives. Leaving active citizens only a short time to provide feedback on the materials which are being prepared for a long time has proven to be ineffective, causing tensions between the creators of the materials and those commenting. We therefore propose to modify legislation to give greater opportunities and powers to citizens in order to participate in the preparation of strategic documents. The first step to achieving this goal is to map the current legislative environment with regards to involving the public in shaping public policies and to propose adjustments.
