This toolkit has been designed as an easy-to-navigate compilation of current trends and practices related to citizen participation in the legislative process with corresponding links to examples. The examples provided within this toolkit are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all available resources, nor are they presented as validated best practices. For toolkit users interested in exploring a particular mechanism in greater depth, the ParlAmericas International Secretariat can facilitate connections with corresponding parliaments to discuss their experience, including the advantages and disadvantages, with the mechanism in question.
