Growing Community Voice By increasing capacity for decision making, facilitating deeper democracy and reinvigorating people’s participation in their community. Everyone has the right to a say in decisions that affect their lives. We empower communities (and individuals) to have their voices heard by decision makers and participate in decision making in order to create positive change. A few highlights.. Our flagship new Civic Innovation Programme launched with 56 ideas for deepening democracy, merging and coalescing into 14 teams; spanning 39 organisations, working together to make these a reality. Following work by the Foundation and partners to test and promote Citizens’ Assemblies as a public participation method, the NI Executive committed to including one Citizen Assembly per year, in their January 2020 New Decade, New Approach agreement. A new area of structured civic engagement. 13
