Testimonials
Katja Henttonen
City of Helsinki
"What we appreciate is that it’s built with democracy in mind and therefore democracy is a big focus. Democratic principles such as accountability, equality and transparency are in the core of the design."
Gala Pin
Barcelona City Hall (2015-2019)
"Thanks to Decidim, in Barcelona we have managed to co-produce a strategic city plan together with the citizens. In 2016 we inaugurated the Municipal Action Plan in the form of a participatory process through Decidim Barcelona. Currently, this plan includes almost 7 thousand citizen proposals. One of the advantages of using this platform is that you can monitor at all times the state of implementation of the approved proposals."
Alejandra González
Open Government of Mexico City
"Almost every participatory process that has come to our table, we have been able to solve it using Decidim’s business rules. As a tool, it is a very strong one. However, the part that seems strongest and most important to us is its community, both developers and those who use it for participatory processes. Coexisting with them has made us appreciate the challenges involved in implementing participatory democracy in the real world."
