The OIDP Award is an opportunity to showcase your work in protecting democracy from local communities internationally.
By submitting your practice, your local or regional government can systematize its knowledge, gain global visibility, participate in peer-to-peer learning and exchange activities, receive feedback from a jury of experts, and gain recognition in a global network of local participatory democracy leaders. Moreover, your practice will nurture the global ecosystem of participatory democracy as it can be part of academic initiatives and studies in collaboration with universities and research centers.
