“	One of the most important criteria of the government authority effectiveness is its openness and citizen involvement in the governing process. This is supported by the projects we implement, including «Public control» with 176 thousand claims to date of which 85% having been resolved. Republic of Tatarstan state and municipal services portal is actively using public voting system. We have seen wide participation in the survey on improving public spaces with necessary amenities. Tatarstan citizens generated about 3000 electronic initiatives to be included into our 2030 Strategy. In September we launched a pilot on public formulation of objectives and tasks and public oversight on execution thereof covering a number of state executive bodies of the Republic of Tatarstan. Now our citizens will directly participate in identifying priority tasks for government departments, as well as monitoring their performance. The work on development of effective feedback mechanisms, citizen involvement into decision-making in governance issues and implementation thereof will be continued. This will primarily be happening via developments in e-services. Public chamber of the Republic of Tatarstan, departmental and municipal public councils, as well as mass media should play an important role in promoting this.	”

This page is about what's necessary for achieving the goals of the project, namely:

1. Drawing a roadmap for developing Wiki-competencies of the region's population
2. Developing and implementing the mechanism for engaging all interested in the region into systemically collecting and generating content informing the world about the diversity of its life.

Stakeholders

The project is being implemented in the era of increasingly globalizing world economy, pervasive optimization and resource efficiency drives, move towards sharing economy approaches. In such a situation, project's stakeholders include both the population of the specific region, as well as other interested group outside of its physical borders. Long-term successful advancement along the stages of the project implementation (in the pilot implementation region or elsewhere) is only possible if the aggregate benefits for all parties are significantly higher than possible real and potential opportunity costs. Wikimedia movement and volunteer community of its projects, which are offered as a platform for implementing "Smart Region" on, are also an interested party, as the project's goals are in line with the vision, as well as mission of the leading Wikimedia organization - Wikimedia Foundation.
