  • R Research Project/Report/Study

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

IIEP’s new research, entitled ‘Open government in education: Learning from the experience of cities in improving transparency and accountability,’ will focus on the case of ‘open cities,’ recalling that one of the earliest open government initiatives linked to participatory budgeting was piloted in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre more than two decades ago. This new research will assess how far governments can succeed in mobilizing citizens to engage in public debate; participate in decision-making, management, and control processes; and contribute to the growth of innovative practices. The project launched in early 2018 with a review of promising initiatives from cities worldwide.
