Dialogue for Comprehensive Rural Development and the Resolution of Agrarian, Labor and Environmental Conflict

The Dialogue for Comprehensive Rural Development and the Resolution of Agrarian, Labor and Environmental Conflict was carried out after two Working Groups and processes of discussion between the indigenous and peasant organizations, and the Government. While the foundations for a new dialogue were laid, no agreement was reached with the business sector or public policy. This second process of citizen participation resulted in the National Policy for Comprehensive Rural Development (Span. PNDRI), approved in 2009 and implemented in 2012.

Institutional design

?

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?

Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
