National Action Plan Against Gender Violence
The mandate to elaborate a National Plan of Action Against Gender Violence arises from the Law of Comprehensive Protection to Prevent, Punish and Eradicate Violence against Women, which was passed in 2009. The first plan prepared covers the period 2014-2016. In 2020, the third National Action Plan is in force, which covers the period 2020-2022. The regulatory decree of the law that establishes the creation of the Action Plans indicates that they must be reviewed in November each year, starting in 2011, however, this did not take place every year. The plans design strategies that aim to guarantee the right to a life free of gender violence. The formulation of all three plans had several participatory instances. In order to formulate the first plan, meetings were held within the framework of the Virtual Forum of Civil Society Organizations, as well workshops and discussion sessions. The government also convened consultations with civil society, carried out a national survey and implemented a validation process performed by the Ad honorem Advisory Council that advises the National Council of Women. The second plan implemented a digital form to send contributions or suggestions. The organizations in charge of the third plan, in turn, chose the following forms of participation: face-to-face and virtual participatory forums, a digital form and the receipt of proposals via email.
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?
