- Empowerment of civil society in improving legislation.
Task:
To create a platform to support and promote civil legislative initiative in the KR through digital technologies.
Brief description of the issues:
Kyrgyzstan is a developing country that needs legislation that meets the dynamic needs of a developing society and economy. The legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic provides the possibility of popular legislative initiative, but the procedure for citizens to submit such initiatives requires the collection of 10 thousand signatures, which does not strongly motivate to promote any legislative initiatives. This hackathon will explore different possibilities of using digital technologies to simplify the process of manifestation of legislative initiative for citizens.
Expected outcome:
A final tool in the form of an interactive platform reflecting legislative initiatives put forward by citizens, with the ability to collect votes in support of the initiative and publish legally executed texts in case of sufficient support for the initiative and other relevant functionality.
Solution format:
Prototype of the software product.
Criteria for evaluating the final product or solution:
Innovativeness of the idea for citizen engagement.
Working prototype.
Availability of both server side and desktop and/or mobile applications.
Intuitive design that meets modern requirements
Quality of presentation of the IT solution
