[open-government] New Report - A Manager’s Guide to Evaluating Citizen Participation

Tue Jan 31 22:59:37 UTC 2012

Steven, TIna,
This is a very interesting publication. I looked at your website and I
could see some of your other work. It seems interesting to challenge our
day to day assumptions in order to deepen the impact of our organizations
(ie.Does Citizen Participation
Work?<http://www.businessofgovernment.org/blog/business-government/does-citizen-participation-work>
 ; Is Open Government
Dead?<http://www.businessofgovernment.org/blog/business-government/open-government-dead>
).
Thanks a lot
Best regards
María

> I am writing to let know you about a new report I authored, "A Manager’s

>
> The report provides a practical assessment guide for program managers so
> they can assess whether their participation efforts are making a
> difference.  The report lays out evaluation steps for both the
> implementation and management of citizen participation initiatives as well
> as how to assess the impact of a particular citizen participation
> initiative.  An appendix provides helpful worksheets, as well.

>
> Agencies in coming years will face greater fiscal pressures and they will
> also face increased citizen demands for greater participation in designing
> and overseeing their policies and programs. Understanding how to most
> effectively engage citizens in their government will likely increase in
> importance.  I hope this evaluation guide will be a useful framework for
> government managers at all levels in helping them determine the value of
> their citizen participation initiatives.
