Digital Cabinet of Caruaru
Caruaru?s Digital Cabinet, created in 2013, and is a channel for participation and dialogue via digital media and the internet between the local government and society. The experience is inspired by the digital cabinet developed by the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Caruaru?s Digital Cabinet operates on three main tools. The first one is ?Mayor Responds", through which the population asks questions to the mayor. After that the questions are established, there is a voting process and the most-voted question is answered by the mayor on video. Through "Collaborative Agenda", the population suggests the place and the issue that the mayor should discuss through social networks. Finally, ?Ombudsman 2.0? allows citizens to express their doubts and obtain answers to requests or complaints related to the actions undertaken by the municipal government.
