Civic Council of the Laguna Institutions
The Civic Council of the Laguna Institutions is a civil society organization formed by a group of institutions and organizations from the Laguna area (Torreón, Coahuila, Gómez Palacio and Lerdo, in the state of Durango). This area suffers from one of the five worst criminal incidence rates in the country, so the Council is born as a response to the need to articulate citizen alliances that join and collaborate in solving major problems such as insecurity and repairing the social fabric, generating proposals, demands, measuring and monitoring government performance, and collaboration.

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?
