We are happy to share that the recent co-design workshop for Study Two of the OneCity Initiative was a resounding success!

Last year we announced the OneCity Initiative in partnership with the CAPRI - Caribbean Policy Research Institute Caribbean Policy Research Institute (CAPRI), Mona GeoInformatics Institute and Fight for Peace which aims to identify new pathways that leverage digital technology for meaningful youth engagement in urban governance.

This Study Two workshop is part of the ongoing research process, bringing together stakeholders to map Jamaica’s public participation ecosystem, reflect on the success factors for effective citizen engagement, and co-design frameworks for more inclusive collaboration between communities and institutions.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and contributed their insights to this important initiative!

At SlashRoots we believe in a whole-of-society approach to national development and see it as strategically advantageous for our national project.

When more societal actors, including members of civil society organisations, contribute to solving our problems, we can accelerate our learning, expand our capacity and increase the momentum of our progress.

That is the basis of the call for civil society actors to participate in Jamaica's open government process as part of the global Open Government Partnership initiative.

Your participation is crucial, as it ensures greater accountability and transparency in government.
