In #Mozambique, registering displaced people is making a big difference! It is legally giving them access to services, benefits, and jobs. Learn more about the program. #ICT4D #Tech4Good https://t.co/nbT8jiaGkD

Global recognition: strong focus on digitalization has included us among the GovTech leaders - the fastest, most agile digital govts in the world. The World Bank rated Serbia's tech modernization as the 11th best globally, and among Europe's top 5 @wbg_gov #GovTechMaturityIndex

The kind of #civictech solution that works: simple and connected to an existing participatory institution.

No, trust in government isn’t necessarily good. We should trust government to the extent that it’s trustworthy. Excellent explainer from @participatory👇🏽

Kicker: “if governments expect to be trusted, shouldn’t they also trust citizens to shape decisions that affect their lives?”

[James Anderson @JamesAnderson]

Are we really having a widespread crisis of trust in governments when, more often than not, the level of trust is commensurate with the level of trustworthiness?

This gave me a lot to think about. Take a read here: https://t.co/yGX3Q2aB1T

Terrific piece, @Participatory!

When the @wsj publishes an ill-informed article that attacks forms of open and participatory democracy #opengov #demopart

[Tiago C. Peixoto @participatory]

The article by @MaryAnastasiaOG in the @WSJ depicting participatory budgeting (PB) as a “way to circumvent election results”, conflating it with mob rule is unfortunate. Beyond offending Latin Americans, the author picked a public policy whose history she is unfamiliar with.
