Departmental Council of Development
The Departmental Development Councils were created within the framework of the Development Council System (SICODE), with the objective of monitoring and supervising the actions of the Municipal and Community Development Councils and public officials, promoting the participation of civil society through the formulation of local and decentralized development plans, to discuss and report on the budgetary investment of the State, among other functions. They are composed of civil society members (representatives of indigenous peoples, peasant organizations, workers' associations, etc.), representatives of public and private universities, members of non-governmental organizations, and representatives from the public administration.

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?
