MY BETTER COUNTRY HACKATHON #14

Driving Open Government and Civic Engagement in National Policymaking Process

The 14th MY BETTER COUNTRY HACKATHON organised by the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission (OPDC) with the support of KAS will gather public opinions on approaches to national development, aiming to encourage the participation of citizens and relevant sectors in expressing their views on national-level issues related to public sector reform that are of social interest. This activity will promote a participatory public administration system involving the government, private sector, civil society, and other stakeholders, turning participation into tangible outcomes. Ultimately, this will lead to improved governance in accordance with the principles of good governance and foster greater public trust in the government.
