Access to Decision-Making Processes

Public participation consists of different mechanisms for civic action within a democratic system.

Citizens can participate in the following ways:

• before authorities make decisions, by: giving advice, participating in consultations, and promoting projects.

• after decisions are made, by acting in the execution of such decisions or by controlling their execution.

 

• Why participate?
• What effects does participation have?
• How can we participate?
• Do we have to organize to participate?
