“Georgian Government must establish mechanism for online petitions”
Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia released a blog post - "Georgian Government must establish mechanism
for online petitions”.
"The best way of addressing this problem is for the Georgian Government to create a dedicated website that would allow citizens to submit petitions to the authorities. This system would promote more active participation of citizens in the policymaking process".
"The Georgian Government has already committed to creating such a system. According to the action plan that the Georgian Government has submitted under the Open Government Partnership initiative, the Ministry of Justice is to establish (in 2013) the ichange.ge website that will allow citizens, among other things, to create e-petitions. The action plan says that the authorities will be required to react to a petition once the number of signatures reaches a certain threshold".
