The SPILNO platform will allow both citizens and civil society organizations to create full-fledged personal pages on the internet for free, publish news, information and events, and find like-minded people to collaborate. It is also possible to create registries of citizens, organizations, property, share experiences and good practices.

The project will be the only window of access to the most common e-democracy tools and municipal services. In return, it will not only allow active citizens to be more involved in participation processes, but also create comfortable conditions for them to use municipal online services.

Organisers developed a platform and were piloting it before the full launch. They have signed memorandums of cooperation with the cities of Kyiv & Bila Tserkva and the village Nemishaevo. Organisers were also aiming to sign memorandums of cooperation with 45 more of the biggest cities in Ukraine.

Citizens publish ideas, take part in competitions, public consultations, debates, implement joint projects in a convenient and accessible form.
The municipal authorities of the city consult with their citizens by conducting online debates, public consultations, polls or holding a contest of creative solutions for the existing problem. The platform helps cities turn to the collective intelligence of citizens, helping them to understand and truly hear citizens, thereby becoming more sensitive to the needs of the public.

Active representatives of civil society, representatives of public organizations, local authorities.

The online platform is currently live, with 2916 users, 116 organisations and 26 ideas, and regular items being posted and shared as ideas.

The biggest problem that hinders the development of digital instrument infrastructures is the lack of confidence in digital solutions, as well as the culturally low level of digital participation. Whilst there may be a cultural trend for greater digital participation in other parts of Europe, this is essentially a world-wide phenomenon, but one which is particularly acute in the Ukraine. In Ukraine and other countries of Eastern Europe there is not even an understanding or culture of traditional partipiation methods, let alone digital ones. Organisers posit that perhaps this trend is because of a lack of knowledge about the opportunities of digital participation.

The main condition for success lay in government support. It was clear that the initiative would not have any problems with uptake once it had the full support of government. And, as a popular product, it necessarily then attracted business attention too.  The personal values and motivation of the organisers, to build new a digital democracy culture in Ukraine, was also a key driving force in the innovation.

Other similar examples cited by organisers include the CitizenLab (Belgium) and Decide Madrid.
The platform does not necessarily solve the problems of government or citizens, but it provides transparent and convenient mechanisms that can help overcome these problems.
It creates a database of successful precedents that can be easily scaled up and distributed. The history of each user's activity and the history of decision-making allows government to identify the most talented representatives of the public and empower them to become an instrument for preventing abuse and corruption.

Digital platforms today are extremely needed because it is the only efficient and effective tool for collecting and automatically processing millions of users. There is no traditional way to do this work. Only through digital platforms we can turn the individual intelligences of the community to collective intelligence.
