Karl-Hendrik Pallo works as a Democracy Expert at the Estonian Cooperation Assembly, empowering citizens to have a stronger say in decision-making and promoting participatory democracy on a local and national level.
Founded by the President of Estonia in 2007, the Estonian Cooperation Assembly is a competence centre that supports the development of participatory democracy, promotes democracy among young people and publishes the Estonian Human Development Report that identifies and monitors issues affecting Estonia's long-term development.
One of Karl’s and his colleagues' core activities is running a citizen initiative platform that promotes (e-)democracy by enabling citizens to digitally draft and send signed collective proposals to local governments and the Estonian Parliament. The platform allows citizens to mobilise and request legislative changes and solutions to societal issues on a local and national level.
