Social Consultation and Participation Instance (INCOPAS)
The Social Consultation and Participation Instance (INCOPAS) is part of the National System of Food and Nutritional Security (SINASAN) and aims to connect civil society with the SINASAN. INCOPAS is a space for participation that gathers the proposals and demands of the different sectors of civil society through their representatives. INCOPAS is made up of representatives of indigenous peoples, peasants, entrepreneurs, churches, universities, research centers, labor unions, NGOs, women's organizations, and professionals. This body was created in 2005 by a decree to the Law of the National System of Food and Nutritional Security.
