Observatory of Citizen Participation
The Observatory of Citizen Participation was created with the objective of assessing and guaranteeing civil society access to information from public bodies, ensuring the existence of forums for concertation at the local and regional levels, as well as publicizing the impact of civil society on public policies in the state. Evaluations are carried out at the local level, and from these, dialogues are established between different members of organized civil society. Throughout these discussion spaces, evaluations and recommendations are also drafted.
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?
