Sharing knowledge and productively growing the field
Your Priorities is an eDemocracy web application designed by the non profit Citizens Foundation to help groups speak with one voice.
Your Priorities is an online participatory social network, launched in 2008 by Iceland's Citizens Foundation. Your Priorities has been in continual development ever since. Now yrpri.org is a web app that is easy to use, scales well on smartphones, tablets and computers and free to use. The community has over 11.000 registered users, with more than 6.000 ideas generated and over 10.000 arguments for and against ideas submitted.
A host of municipal governments use YRPRI for participatory projects, such as crowdsourcing ideas or participatory budgeting. Civil Society organisations and NGOs also use the platform, including the Norwegian Consumer Authority, Forbrukerradet.
