 The brochure "Publicies Policy Made by Citizens" showcasing SMART Method of Public Policy, edited by SMART Development Center Romania.
SMART Method of Public Policy is a combination of online and offline citizen engagement. It benefits from advantages specific to the online dialogue like little to no cost of use, flexibility of participants to give solutions to problems of public concern, educational approach, and interactivity among the participants. At the same time, SMART Method is coping with the disadvantages of offline engagement, like the lack of accountability of the end result of a participation endeavor, limited time and money of participants to offer input in pressing community problems, polarization of discussions, and lack of knowledge about issues. |
