Commitment Buenos Aires 2020
Commitment Buenos Aires 2020 is an initiative proposed by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires to generate a framework for dialogue with civil society organizations in order to analyze and jointly understand the common challenges and the resources available to solve them. This space invites citizens to debate and reflect on the structural issues of the City, thinking about long-term planning and emphasizing essentially two primary issues: the budget and the Constitution of the City. For this, a process was concocted that consisted of different stages of needs assessment and proposal collection: sectorial meetings, consultation and dialogue workshops, systematization and report, preparation of the proposal, plenary sessions of return and readjustment of the proposal. The project was based on the idea of "democratic dialogue", obtained from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), which also contributed with advice and technical assistance in its implementation. During this process, various documents were produced that compile contributions and returns from participants, responses from government authorities, and contributions to the City's Strategic Plan.
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?
