There are already three problems of public concern in Hunedoara, published on the citizen engagement platform www.politicipublice.ro.

SMART Method of Public Policy allows citizens to raise problems of public concern on its citizen engagement platform www.politicipublice.ro, engages citizens to publish solutions to those problems and enables the local partner organizations to officially ask public authorities solve the problems, given citizens’ input and recommendations. In the last step of the participation process, citizens agree or not with the action of the public institutions.

Partners: The Young Entrepreneurs Association – West Chapter, The League of Romanian Students Abroad  and SMART Development Center Galati.
