Public participation, on the other hand, takes into lớn account the full range of activities that people undertake to
shape policy outcomes – from citizen-led khổng lồ state-sanctioned. Engaging with structures & organizationalorganisational bodies of democracy, this includes everything from voting và lobbying khổng lồ participating in demonstrations.
But although a political practice, public participation is a path lớn citizen empowerment critical to lớn well-functioning democracies – particularly relevant in the twenty-first century’s declining democracy globally.
Increasingly, public participation has become vitally important with commitments khổng lồ improve its role in policy decision making globally.

“Community engagement requires intentional interactions between communities and public decision makers.”
Emphasis on the lived experience of community members taking a front seat & local knowledges inflecting decision-making processes, challenges a top-down approach lớn public decision making. In demonstrating that community contribution matters, public participation challenges the linear, or one-way relationship between government organizationsorganisations và communities
và promotes productive, durable change through, amongamoung other things, deliberative dialogue. (In this way, public participation is important even if it doesn’t directly influence policy decisions as it can produce new, localizedlocalised knowledge that generates information that can shift government policy agendas.)

It builds and sustains relationships between communities and government entities into lớn the future.



On a manifest cấp độ, traditional & digital engagement, or what we Điện thoại tư vấn digital-first engagement, implies the way we engage communities. Traditional, “in person” or what is commonly called “face to lớn face” community engagement can take the form of citizen’s juries, citizen’s assemblies or public meetings và consultations, for instance. These connect people và build relationships in a hands-on environment while accessing information necessary for community members lớn have sầu their say on the issues at h&.
At a more latent màn chơi, these differing types are often integrated in an engagement process that works within an engagement framework. Governments & organizationsorganisations utilizeutilise engagement frameworks, or models, that use traditional & digital engagement within formal engagement processes. (This is different lớn citizen participation that utilizesutilises informal processes to lớn voice opinions about policies.) Formal or ‘state-sanctioned’ participation initiatives invite the public khổng lồ engage beyond voting – such as citizen’s assemblies, citizen juries or participatory budgets. Although partaking in the same goal – improving public services & projects – these differ from the types of activities created by citizens, residents & community members themselves through their shared identities & comtháng interests. But, as we see when we ask, ‘how bởi vì you engage communities?’, formal initiatives don’t preclude communities actively shaping processes and outcomes of public decisions in the improvement of provision of services for their community.
