The Hague Academy on Local Governance is conducting a short course on Citizen Participation and Inclusive Governance (23 May – 3 June, 2016) in Netherlands. This course discusses basic principles of good governance, accountability and civil participation. Participants will explore possibilities to engage citizens in the policy and decision making process with a special focus on marginalised groups. They will discuss a.o. the participation ladder, the accountability chain, do’s and don’ts in participation processes and the role of the media.
In the training course participants will discuss how governments can inform and involve their citizens, including minorities and marginalised groups. Applicants will also learn how civil society can be strengthened in such a way that citizens can hold their governments accountable and bring their concerns on the table.
After successful completion of the course participants will receive a certificate of The Hague Academy for Local Governance.
