Nicaraguan AIDS Commission
The Nicaraguan AIDS Commission (known by its Spanish acronym CONISIDA) was created in 1996 by Law No. 238, named "Law for the Promotion, Protection and Defense of Human Rights in response to AIDS". The Commission, chaired by the Ministry of Health, is an intersectoral coordination body that formulates proposals to combat AIDS and HIV and monitors the policies carried out for this purpose. The Commission is made up of representatives of government agencies, trade unions, civil society, religious organizations, the private sector, academia, the cabinet of disabled people, people with HIV and populations at higher risk. CONISIDA operates as a national body, as well as through departmental commissions across the country.

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?
