Digital Democracy's Challenges and Path Forward, as Seen from the Field — What PoliPoli Has Learned About Connecting Voices to Policy Through Policy Co-Creation

Since its founding in 2018, PoliPoli has worked as a policy platform connecting citizens with politics and government, advancing efforts to connect voices to policy across national government, ministries, and local governments.

Drawing on PoliPoli's track record in policy co-creation, this session argues that what matters in digital democracy is not just gathering the voices of a wide range of stakeholders — it is organizing those voices, framing them into concrete issues, and connecting them to political and administrative decision-making and policymaking.

Sharing challenges seen on the ground across national government, ministries, and local governments — from designing the right questions, to linking with the policy cycle, to feeding results back — the session considers what institutions, operations, and talent digital democracy will need going forward.
