In the Netherlands, enough is happening in the field of online participation and administrative innovation. However, not all projects are successful and these initiatives do not receive the attention they deserve. The reason for this is that projects are started separately and are not yet sufficiently seen in a broader context. By using the participation ladder, you can create coherence and increase your chance of success with online participation.
Municipal councils and registries in the Netherlands are not immediately known peru mobile phone number list as the epitome of administrative innovation. Wrongly so, because in almost every municipality I have visited in recent years, small and large experiments are started at local level. Some explicitly named as innovative projects. Other projects more from the vision of the registrar or local parties to give politics a new impulse . Yet other registrars try to use smart methods to better connect meetings and information to the citizens in the city and the local politicians themselves.
Citizens take the initiative
In addition, citizens themselves come up with initiatives to stimulate or change the government, the administration and politics. Think for example of the vote breaker and the national debt meter .
