Youth Concertation Table

The Youth Concertation Table is a space created in 2014 by various civil society organizations, the municipal government's secretariat in Bluefields and the regional government's secretariat of the southern Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, as well as by cooperation agencies and government implementation programs. They gathered in order to articulate, communicate, dialogue and exchange experiences and knowledge, to set in motion joint actions aimed at improving the impact of the work done by each of them in favor of the youth. The Table seeks to work towards the solution of problems faced by young people, such as low access to sexual and reproductive health services, employment, education and spaces for participation.

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?
