Citizen Voices brought together technology innovators, development specialists, government officials, academics, civil society representatives, and the private sector to discuss how citizen engagement and feedback systems can strengthen development work where the impact on the poor is most direct. Sessions explored how innovative uses of technology can be transformational, how governments can be more responsive, and how we ensure citizen feedback is robust. Read the full agenda.
