Alto Chagres Area Conservation Plan
The Alto Chagres Area Conservation Plan is a process through which NGOs and private stakeholders, in conjunction with the public administration, define, implement and evaluate conservation strategies for the territory of Chagres National Park. The design of the plan started 2002 and the latter was approved in 2003, ending the implementation and evaluation process in 2007. The plan included a consultation process with local inhabitants and civil society organizations, as well as a consultation with technicians and scientists, allowing various actors to share their perspectives. There was also a moment of integration, in which selected representatives of both groups participated.
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?
