Smart Interactions for SDGs (piloting)

    Description
    Description
    Our initiative is aimed at addressing local issues and global challenges on the basis of more effective multi/cross-sectoral interactions with citizens participation. Basic idea for greater efficiency: common barrier free multi-sectoral IT-environment of different actors and citizens simplifies cross-sectoral interactions and allows to solve issues for lower cost within defining and addressing issues. Integrated in daily work of stakeholders and life of people it will provide better transparency, avoiding duplication, more effective use of limited resources, generate more trust and unlock new opportunities for SDGs, which has not been feasible before.

    Capacity
