BA Dialoguing
Dialogando BA is a mechanism to promote citizen participation in the City of Buenos Aires. The initiative, under the responsibility of the city's Ministry of Government, consists of inviting citizens, representatives of civil society organizations, academia and the private sector to discuss in working groups the problems the city faces and design policy proposals to solve them. The issues addressed by the roundtables have been diverse, ranging from economic and educational policy initiatives to electoral reform, including many others.
