PARTICIPATING BEYOND ELECTIONS
The Brief
KZN PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE
Access to information is a right that should be extended to all citizens. In South Africa, language is a major barrier to the extension of this right. Social networks are an important tool for parliaments/legislatures and their members to communicate, engage and connect with the public. They allow legislatures to share information, provide educational resources and ensure accountability.
A Strategic Vision for Enhanced Public Engagement
In charting the course for the Provincial Legislature, our objectives are finely tuned to elevate public exposure, mold public opinion, and fortify the Legislature’s public image. This strategic roadmap encompasses two pivotal aims:
- Amplifying Public Exposure:
-
- Our primary thrust is to amplify the Provincial Legislature’s visibility on a public stage.
- Through targeted initiatives and campaigns, we aim to ensure that the Legislature becomes a prominent fixture in public discourse, influencing perceptions and garnering increased attention from diverse segments of society.
- Fostering Continuous Citizen Participation:
-
- Beyond the confines of elections, our objective is to instigate and sustain citizen participation in the legislative process.
- By implementing innovative strategies and outreach programs, we seek to create avenues for ongoing engagement, transforming citizens into active participants in the democratic dialogue, well beyond the electoral cycle.
This dual-pronged approach reflects our commitment to not only shape public opinion but also to nurture a sustained and inclusive relationship between the Provincial Legislature and its constituents, thereby fostering a robust and enduring democratic ecosystem.
