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.
