| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) |
Democratic character of governance, long-term effectiveness of governance: Public participation as a prerequisite for the effectiveness of public policy (human-centred approaches) and a way to strengthen the legitimacy of chosen solutions. The most appropriate forms of participation in this respect are deliberative forms, i.e. those that allow a discussion and that steer this discussion and mutual persuasion by certain rules. The indicator depicts participation as a whole and shows a general trend in the approach to participation rather than specific progress in deliberation. According to the accompanying information (provided by the data source), only part of the participative activities are actually deliberative forms. In relation to the target, the situation should be assessed as being partly worse than it appears from the data.
