Roundtables for Review of the Agreements of the National Agreement for Development
The Roundtables for the Review of the Agreements of the National Concertation for Development were in charge of verifying the fulfillment of these agreements. To this end, five Roundtables were commissioned on the themes of: 1) Welfare and Equality; 2) Economic Growth and Competitiveness; 3) Institutional Modernization; 4) Education; and 5) Health. Representatives of business, labor, non-governmental organizations, churches, academic institutions, indigenous peoples, political parties, and national government participated in each roundtable. The process for the Review of the Agreements gathered the contributions of participating stakeholders, and constituted a mechanism for accountability and social control, as the authorities provided both qualitative and quantitative information, and addressed questions. At the same time, civil society contributed with its knowledge and experiences, to build on agreements and formulate concrete proposals.
