ABOUT Citizens Charter empowers ordinary people and civil society to engage in political governance reform for the long-term benefit of their society. We encourage citizens to set performance standards for government, and to engage in public scrutiny and public control over political decision-makers. To achieve these goals, we invest the funds donated to us in: Creating balanced, non-partisan public Briefing Papers on issues of long-term national significance. Empowering citizens to participate in politics through education and community engagement programs. Encouraging public comment and submissions on positive, long-term governance reform. Holding deliberative forums where citizens can decide how to improve their democracy. [ More ]
