Participatory Platform for the Digital Agenda

The Participatory Platform for the Digital Agenda is an initiative of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies of Paraguay, which allows citizens to make proposals and comments on issues related to the Digital Agenda. The Digital Agenda is the country's master plan for information and communication technologies, which aims to promote access to and use of ICTs to improve public services, reduce the digital gap, innovate in the channels through which citizens interact with the government and improve the lives of Paraguayans through the use of technology. The platform consists of a digital website where citizens can send contributions on topics such as connectivity, digital government and digital economy, and also read comments and suggestions posted by other citizens.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
