For 25 years, the International Observatory on Participatory Democracy has been a global reference in the promotion of participatory, deliberative and inclusive democracy at the local level. Since its creation in 2001, the network has brought together cities, local and regional governments, civil society organizations and research centres committed to strengthening democracy by placing people at the centre of public decision-making.
The International Observatory on Participatory Democracy (OIDP) is a space open to all cities in the world and all associations, organizations and research centers interested in learning about, exchanging impressions and applying experiences of participatory democracy on a local scale with the aim of deepening the roots of democracy in municipal government.
