Citizen participation and communication strategies in the central government of El Salvador

Abstract

What dissemination strategies does the central government use to promote citizen participation and what impact does this have on government events?
This research identified these strategies and their innocence, as well as the incidence of citizen participation in the decision making of the central government of El Salvador.
Through in-depth interviews, it was established that in the central government citizen participation is focused on the dimension of the complaint; there is a lack of mechanisms in which the population really influences the decision-making process of the government. In addition, the few participation mechanisms that exist are not adequately disclosed, the government agencies do not have exclusive communication strategies to promote them.
