Trust in Government: Understanding its Territorial Divides:

7 July, 2021 (Virtual)

On 7 July 2021, the OECD organised this webinar, which brought together experts from around the world to build the knowledge base and promote international dialogue on

  • the drivers of regional divides in trust in government and the challenges in measuring these;
  • the local drivers of trust in government and strategies to address the trust divide across territories, notably among urban and rural areas.

The Webinar explored whether local characteristics and socio-economic conditions can influence trust in government, as well as the role of place-based policies and multi-level governance mechanisms in addressing the underlying determinants of trust and mistrust.
