Brasil Dialogue
Dialoga Brasil (lit. Brazil Dialogue) is a participatory online space created by the federal government in 2015. The objectives of this participatory portal are to promote the discussion between citizens on public policies and development in the country, receive suggestions and complaints, and disclose the federal government?s actions. The platform features 14 themes and 80 federal government priority programs, giving people the option to choose which topic they want to participate in. From November 2015 on, the federal government has been collecting these suggestions and has committed to presenting the main points discussed in 2016, as well as the most popular proposals of each program. Dialoga Brasil had 24,901 registered users, 11,077 proposals and 276,147 votes in November 2015.
