| description |
In recent years, the world has seen
formidable manifestations of citizens’ engagement. By taking
to the streets to condemn corruption scandals, by rallying
on social media to address growing inequalities, or by
participating in global consultations to develop the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ordinary citizens are
increasingly eager and able to make their voices heard. At
the same time, after several decades of progress, the space
for citizens’ voices is shrinking globally as several
governments raise legal barriers to constrain actions by
civil society organizations (CSOs) and to muzzle the media.
In this context, the World Bank Group’s commitment to
citizen engagement can catalyze change. This is even more
important because achieving the SDGs and the twin goals
rests on the active involvement of citizens and local governments. |
