Advisory Council for the Growth of Santa Fe

The Advisory Council is a mechanism created by the government of Santa Fe to provide a space for the participation of citizens who are outside the governmental structure, generating a space for them to give their opinions, offer their advice and contribute their specific knowledge to the different areas of management.

Among its powers, it is responsible for: participating in the design of the provincial and regional strategic plan, ruling on issues raised by officials, and requesting reports from any of the government branches.
