Our Commitment
Participa+ is a replicable model that seeks to implement strategies that respond to the following challenges at a local level in Colombia:
| 1. | Promoting citizens who are agents of change, capable of organizing and influencing public affairs that transform their environment. These leaders represent the ability to embody collective interests that will maintain public-oriented actions. |
| 2. | Generating advocacy strategies so that organized citizens use the different innovative methodologies that will strengthen their capacity to influence public decision making, and also so that they can get an institutional answer aligned with their causes. |
| 3. | Promoting open governments under a logic of public innovation that facilitates an interaction in which the state anticipates the needs of citizens nd makes them partakers of its decisions. This strategy is based on three pillars: transparency, participation and co-creation. |
