IV.A: Objectives
Provide answers to the questions we really should seek to answer to achieve certain participatory objectives. Other Information:
Different horses for different courses. "Citizen engagement" comprises many different "means" to achieve many different "ends."
Depending on the context, citizens can play different roles: as providers of ideas and expertise (think of crowd sourcing,
predictive analytics, grand challenges, prize-induced innovation, brainstorming, etc.); or as representatives of specific
interests (in the context of participatory budgeting, citizen juries and deliberative polling). And the contexts of engagement
may differ substantially—from post-conflict zones to gentrified city blocks. How do we provide answers to the questions we
really should seek to answer: to achieve certain participatory objectives, what works, with whom, and under what conditions?
