Theme of Conference: How can we build political will for participatory governance? Location of Conference: Glasgow, Scotland Date: 17-18 June 2008
An invitation only global conference convened by the CIVICUS Participatory Governance Programme. Although participatory governance offers important concrete benefits for citizens and state actors alike, there is often initial resistance from political actors and government officials who are unfamiliar with such approaches. The objective of this workshop was to explore and understand reasons for “political won’t” and, most importantly, to share and learn about strategies and tools that have proved successful in building “political will”. The workshop hosted approximately 70 targeted participants including leading practitioners from both civil society and government who are actively involved in promoting citizens’ participation in governance processes. A number of selected researchers, scholars and donors with particular expertise in the area of participatory governance were also invited to attend.
