Lessons learned

  • Start at local level
  • Political will is essential!
  • Feasible in poor countries but use offmine options
  • More inclusive from a quantitative perspective
  • Avoid “elite capture”
  • It works but needs adequate state capacity to

deliver

Way Forward

Paradigm shift: towards broader e-participation? In principle, participation in decision making processes foster sustainable development But evidence needs to be beefed up... Need to “institutionalize” participation Political will plays key role but people can still demand it, peacefully! Mind the policy gap!!
