Monitoreremo un bene che doveva essere, a San Ferdinando (RC), un centro di accoglienza per marittimi. Capiremo perché non lo è diventato e proporremo qualcosa affinché rinasca.
Siamo in ASOC2122 perché noi vediamo strade dove altri vedono scorciatoie

The impact of civic monitoring: the relations with the media and public institutions

22/10/2020/0 Comments/in Annual report /by Redazione

Since 2013, Monithon has been developing tools and methods for enabling the “civic monitoring” of public funding. Our “civic monitoring reports” include information on how the projects are developed, how they are progressing, and what is their impact from the point of view of the final beneficiaries, such as citizens and enterprises.

OUR METHOD

PICK A PROJECT
Choose one EU-funded projects from your Country’s Open Data portal. If necessary, ask for help for using the data. You can pick an interesting project in your city or neighborhood — or a project that has made the headlines in your local newspapers.
Get information on the project’s history and goals
Learn everything you need about administrative procedures and decisions, news, and contextual data. Look for official policy documents and get help in translating them into plain language.
Call your friends
Participate in a civic monitoring group or create a new one! Check if local schools or NGOs are already in action. Look at the reports already published in your Country and contact the authors. Not sure who to call? Send us an email – info@monithon.eu
Go exploring
Make photos, videos, and publish them on social media. Identify key people involved in policy programming and project implementation. Plan ahead for your interviews and ask about challenges and opportunities.
Create a report!
Create a civic monitoring report following the first two steps. Describe the project in your own words. Evaluate its current progress. If the project is finished, evaluate its effectiveness from the point of view of your community. Be concise and clear, write for a wide audience.
Share your results
Share what you have found with policymakers, journalists, and interested citizens. Set up a campaign with local media and NGOs to further communicate the positive results of the project or to make suggestions on how to improve it.
Tell us about your impact
Use the third step of your report to tell your audience about the new connections you have made, the use of your results by public administrations and the media, and if the problems you have found are solved.
