Citizen-Led Integration and Coordination: Transferring the Lessons from Pleasant Hill, Saskatoon, Canada
Day / Time Monday, June 19th / 14:00 - 16:00
Event Description
A brief case study will be presented on the implementation of the Pleasant Hill Local Area Plan and its attempt at empowering citizens through knowledge transfer to lead the call for an intersectoral approach to improving policy, program, and service delivery coordination. There will be particular emphasis on the challenges of engaging indigenous peoples and organizations within an intersectoral framework. We will further demonstrate the applicability of this framework within a developing country (e.g. The Case of Gonzales, Port of Spain, Trinidad ). Using focused conversation, participants will be asked to consider their own approach and experiences with citizen-lead calls for intersectoral collaboration. Time will be allocated to developing individual and connective action plans to improve public engagement in implementing coordinated policy, program and service delivery models.
