Petitions & Civic Engagement

This sub-sub-indicator assesses the extent to which there is a right to petition and civic engagement. This is based on the following criteria: the extent to which in practice, people in a neighbourhood can get together with others and present their concerns to members of congress or local government officials, people can freely join together with others to draw attention to an issue or sign a petition, local residents receive sufficient advanced notice of impending construction projects, the likelihood that plans would be suspended should residents file an urgent petition proposing an alternative construction plan, and the extent to which the government collaborates with civil society organisations in designing public policy.
