Washington, DC – May 1 – RSVP Now
All citizens should be able to hold their governments accountable to deliver quality public services in a transparent and responsive manner. Starting at the grassroots level, citizens should be able to define what a government should do, express that desire, see it enacted, and rate the result.
Yet that’s an idea rarely achieved – even in the “developed” world. How can we leverage ICT’s facilitate and accelerate good governance globally?
Please RSVP now for the next Technology Salon where we will ask ourselves questions like these to find new ways to use technology in support of better citizen engagement and good governance outcomes:
- What existing programs already engage citizens and their government?
- How can ICTs make citizen engagement processes more inclusive?
- Is there any evidence that ICTs improve governance?
- What are the challenges and realities? How can we mitigate them?
- What traditional and offline tools enhance technology solutions?
- What are the potential privacy, ethics, and security issues inherent when using ICTs for citizen engagement?
Please RSVP Now to join these thought leaders for a stimulating debate led by Cathryn Meurn of Vital Wave, on the future of technology for governance and accountability:
- Jerry Sam, Project Director, Penplusbytes Ghana
- Ian Schuler, CEO, Development Seed
- Giselle Lopez, Senior Data and Knowledge Manager, Integrity Global
- Saki Kumagai, Social Development Specialist, World Bank
We’ll have coffee and snacks for a morning rush, but seating is limited. Please RSVP Now. Once we reach our 35-person capacity there will be a waiting list!
