Councils of the Citizen Power (County, District and Municipal Offices)
The Councils of the Citizen Power are organizations based at the regional, urban, rural, district and municipal level in which citizens can participate directly. They can count on up to 150 members per Council, among whom 16 representatives are chosen for predetermined areas and who design, execute and evaluate specific issues within their field of action. They were created with the main purpose of enabling a space for participation and coordination with civil society to combat poverty and social inequality.
