Citizen participation strengthens public policy. It improves targeting, enhances legitimacy and increases the long-term impact of investments. Following successful pilot projects across European regions, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are launching a new cycle of support under the project “With Citizens for Effective Cohesion Policy.”
