The Basque Government since 2013 has promoted a process to define, agree and contrast the basis for a White Paper on Democracy and Citizenship for Euskadi, developed collaboratively and adapted to the Basque applicable, conceptual and practical reality at once, committed citizens and create a "network" of agents and best practices.

A White Paper on Democracy and Citizen Participation in Euskadi is an improvement in governance and in the governance of the country, a reformulation and democratization of relations between the authorities and society, and defining and promoting processes to instrumentalize channels for dialogue and mediation processes.
