Description
Develop a citizen participation guideline for public sector departments that ensures that every public sector department across all spheres has a functional, resourced, and capacitated citizen engagement unit, which regularly and proactively engages with civil society.
This guideline will give direction to public service departments on citizen engagement in service delivery and policy-making through, among others, the use of online and mobile technology. Participatory democracy will be enhanced.
