Inter-Communal Coordination Council

The Inter-Communal Coordination Council was created in 2005 by Law 1777. It is a forum made up of the presidents of the city's community boards. The Council is chaired by the Head of Government or, in his or her absence, by the official he or she designates, who may not hold a position lower than that of Secretary. The Council's purpose is to advise the local Executive Branch on policies affecting the communes. The members of the Council present projects previously formulated in the community boards, and elaborate joint work agendas and training instances to strengthen the impact of the community boards. The Council also mediates on issues of overlapping competencies between communes.

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?
