National Commission for Demarcation and Titling
The National Commission for Demarcation and Titling was established with the objective of institutionalizing and legalizing the collective ownership of indigenous lands in the country, in response to the ruling of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights during Awas Tingni v. Nicaragua. The commission consists of the presidents of the Autonomous Regional Councils, representatives of state institutions and indigenous communities, and the Intersectorial Commissions for Demarcation and Titling (CIDT). The procedure for demarcating and titling an indigenous territory is carried out in five phases: submission of the application, resolution of conflicts, mediation, titling and sanitation.
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?
