Challenge Independencia - Enel

The Challenge Independencia - Enel is an initiative of several companies together with Independencia' s City Hall. It is a call for ideas that seeks to encourage citizen participation via a web platform. Citizens can submit proposals aimed at reactivating the local economy, including: digital commerce strategies, safe modes of face-to-face commerce, safe use of public space, strengthening local business' networks, promotion of local employability, multicultural integration, collaboration strategies and collective support, among others. A requirement to participate is to reside, work or study in the municipality of Independencia and not work regularly in or provide services to the Municipality of Independencia or corporations belonging to the public sector. For more than 15 days the ideas were put to public vote, and the 4 ideas that gathered most votes won prizes awarded by the organizers.
