(Auditorium Testori, English/French interpretation, available via Livestream)
In the current context, strengthening trust is a priority for all governments. Successive global crises in recent years have tested confidence in government, and information ecosystems are being further challenged with rising mis and disinformation and the use of generative AI. At the same time, unmet rising citizen expectations around participation and representation, and concerns around government’s ability to tackle complex policy issues in the public interest and in a transparent and accountable manner are driving trust levels down. The report OECD Survey on the Drivers of Trust in Institutions – 2024 Results delivers new evidence on the various ways governments can strengthen trust. This session will take stock of the evolution of trust in public institutions and discuss concrete actions governments can take in the future.
