Citizens demand participation andeffective governance for development.
To achieve this governments need to examine the legal and institutional framework and identify practices for better engaging citizens.
![Page 4: Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaireunpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unp… · · 2013-01-25Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaire Ulrich](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022500/5aa1cce37f8b9ab4208c3493/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
But how to do this practically …
… and how can the UN help?
![Page 5: Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaireunpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unp… · · 2013-01-25Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaire Ulrich](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022500/5aa1cce37f8b9ab4208c3493/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
There is not the one and only approach or activity. Instead it needs the ‘right mix ’ of policies and activities.
In this context the self-assessment questionnaire can serve to identify what is the state of government-citizen relation.
![Page 6: Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaireunpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unp… · · 2013-01-25Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaire Ulrich](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022500/5aa1cce37f8b9ab4208c3493/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The UN generally offers a variety of support options including Normative work, Policy studies and Capacity building / Technical cooperation.
The questionnaire can be used by member states on their own and in preparation of requests for further UN assistance.
![Page 7: Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaireunpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unp… · · 2013-01-25Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaire Ulrich](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022500/5aa1cce37f8b9ab4208c3493/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
intends to support assessing the existence and possibility of measures and/or institutional arrangements linking citizens more directly into the national decision -making processes.

![Page 8: Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaireunpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unp… · · 2013-01-25Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaire Ulrich](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022500/5aa1cce37f8b9ab4208c3493/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The Self-Assessment Questionnaire
![Page 9: Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaireunpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/un/unp… · · 2013-01-25Citizen Engagement Self-Assessment Questionnaire Ulrich](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022500/5aa1cce37f8b9ab4208c3493/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The questionnaire should be beneficial throughout the public policy process:
At early stages including periods of political transition or transformation to enhance public problem definition and to identify acceptable policy options;
Through the implementation stages by facilitating dialogue to support policy inclusiveness; and
To receive feedback while monitoring and evaluatingpublic policy programmes and their outcomes.
