Description

The Municipality of Agios Anargyron-Kamaterou, strategically, places special emphasis on issues of innovation and technology by implementing a series of modern and pioneering projects that aim to promote transparency, justice, participation and the involvement of citizens.

In this context, the Municipality, participating in the Integrated Mechanism for Multilevel Consultation (IMCD), e-dialogue.oke.gr, which belongs to the Economic and Social Committee of Greece (OKE), launched the electronic consultation platform to which they will be invited , depending on the thematic object, the members of the Administration, the employees of the organization, the citizens and the involved organizations to submit their opinions on the projects and actions proposed by the Municipality or to propose their own ideas and actions for projects to be implemented .

In addition to suggestions, users of the platform have the possibility to comment on posted texts with the aim of developing a dialogue on the topics concerning the Municipality and the services provided to the citizens.

Through the Consultation platform, the Municipality facilitates, promotes and strengthens the possibility of participation of the citizens and the involved bodies, promotes the logic of jointly shaping the goals that make up its strategy, while at the same time, the processes of collective decisions are accelerated.

The first two "pilot" consultations were held between the members of the Administration and were about changing the logo of the AAK Municipality and changing the name of the Municipality's website. In the near future, many issues are planned to be put up for electronic consultation.

The aim of the consultation platform is to comprehensively inform citizens about key issues that concern the local community as well as about decisions that the administration is asked to take, encouraging them to "examine" carefully, "request", "evaluate" alternative policies , to "propose" suitable solutions and "confront" with substantiated arguments during the decision-making process in the planning and implementation of projects and policies.

In this way, the Municipality plans the expansion of the democratic structure with a co-decision function together with the citizens for the future of the city, creating active citizens, constantly creatively developing the dialogue and defining actions within the participatory processes.
