An argument for or against the ability of citizen movements to bring about changes in government policy:
The citizen is the human power to make the government body, they know the correct judgement of the government. They have to give their voice against their important public needs, and they have to contribute to developing public projects.
This process of participation can be achieved by positive participation in the elections, attending hearing sessions, taking part in community task forces.
I think participation in local governance is very important because it enables citizens to prioritize their needs and watch public allocations and resources to public projects. This will lead to better management for public resources and less corrupt practices.
