The OIDP “Best Practice in Citizen Participation” Award recognises successful experiences led by
local and regional governments in participatory and deliberative democracy, public participation and
democratic innovation, including initiatives focused on community empowerment and open government,
with an approach grounded in inclusion and rights.
It is an initiative of the International Observatory on Participatory Democracy (OIDP) and United
Cities and Local Governments (UCLG).
