by KOSO NIPPON

Active
Tokyo

In May 2022, KOSO NIPPON held its first Residents Councils outside Japan, conducting Public Spending Reviews in two towns within the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Responding to the Indonesian government’s desire to inform citizens of what the government is actually doing and to make government and community affairs the business of local residents, we conducted Public Spending Reviews in which randomly-selected citizens served as decision-makers.
