SGI is a non-profit, non-partisan civic association. Its mission is to propose and promote solutions for good, accessible, transparent and effective public services for the citizens of Slovakia and other countries.
Our website: www.governance.sk
Website presented by the Slovak Governance Institute (SGI) is focused on the increase of the accountability of the local government thus enhancing the citizen’s participation in the governance.
As based on the research of Transparency International Slovakia citizens in smaller communities (small cities) are better informed on the performance of the local government as citizens in the bigger communities.
Therefore SGI will launch the pilot website focused on the Bratislava region. Bratislava, as a capital city of Slovakia is divided into 17 parts having own mayors, parliaments and committees.
Citizens will have the opportunity to report various problems in their streets and local environment to their authorities as the website will generate request to the local government officials. Afterwards, their response to the alerts will be classified and evaluated. Website will therefore fill in the gap which exists on the Slovak internet in the area of citizen's participation.
You will find more information on the website content and procedures in the attached PowerPoint presentation.
