Is WeGO an NGO?

WeGO does not make a profit. However, it is a network of cities and local governments so it is actually an international organization rather than a non-governmental organization.

What are some tangible benefits that WeGO offers to its members?

Besides numerous benefits that WeGO offers to its members, some tangible benefits that WeGO offers are as follows: • Solutions: WeGO offers numerous solutions, such as the highly-touted Civic Participation System (CPS). This hybrid solution empowers citizens to provide impetus on civic needs that requires addressing from the government, through a streamlined system that allows the citizen to connect directly to a government official in charge of the particular matter/district. • WeGO also offers a platform in which cities can share their knowledge in ICT, e-Government and smart city initiatives, to not only propagate their learnings but also to learn from other cities.
