“…Scholars have discussed factors that facilitate and ensure the successful implementation of such initiatives targeting DG: first, inclusive participation of all stakeholders; second, setting up of an unbiased information-sharing infrastructure to break the silos; third, promotion of shared leading and mutual understanding of issues; fourth, setting up ground rules to run neutral debates with a focus on consensus-building; and fifth, designing an ICT platform based on these rules to facilitate transparent and open discussion on policy decisions. Similarly, factors that may hinder such practice are noted in the literature as: first, deeply divided representation based on creed, caste, religion, and other social constructs; second, the problem of elite capture, which may lead to concentration of power in place of distribution; third, an unbiased commitment of the state in providing support to these initiatives; and fourth, ensuring that the ICT tools used in the PB initiative are actively targeting the marginalized without bias so that the expected social goals can be achieved (Park et al, 2017;Saguin, 2018).…”
