Interprovincial Youth Chapters: Adolescents and Youth, Partners in Change
The Interprovincial Youth Chapters were organized in 1999, coordinated by the United Nations Population Fund, the Ministry of Youth, Women, Children and Family, and the National Youth Council. Each province had a youth representative in which they discussed the problems and needs of their adolescents and young people. The rights of adolescents and young people were presented and promoted, and the need to formulate and implement public policies for young people was reaffirmed. Each Chapter discussed a topic previously assigned by the organizing committee; conclusions, recommendations and proposals were elaborated on in an executive document.

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?
