Youth Assembly Program
The Youth Assembly Program is a space created in 2002 for young people seeking to group together to discuss and find answers on issues that affect them. Currently, the Program is organized and coordinated by the National Directorate for the Promotion of Citizen Participation. The First Youth Assembly was composed of seventy-one youth deputies elected in public and private schools throughout the country. During the first assembly the projects presented by the students were discussed, two of which became Laws.
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?
