Active Citizens
The online government platform Active Citizens was born in the city of Cali in 2013 at the head of a group of independent citizens, with the purpose of connecting citizens with the public sector, thus promoting more efficient public management. The platform allows citizens to publish reports, alerts, problems or citizen projects, in the same way, allows users to participate in an interactive way in each of the problems that arise through the citizen network online. The information is geo-referenced, organized, classified and centralized so that different entities can use citizen feedback and make a better public management. Active Citizens has won two categories of the ''ExcelGel - Excellence in Government Online'' awards granted in Colombia by the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications in November 2013.
