Public Participation Plan for the National REDD+ Strategy
The Public Participation Plan for the National REDD+ Strategy is a participatory framework developed by the Ministry of Environment of Panama and the United Nations. The purpose of this plan is that the participants, on the one hand, conduct an assessment on the current situation of the forest and the increase of forest carbon stocks; the main problems or challenges regarding the reduction of emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation in Panama; and, on the other hand, identify priority actions that the national strategy to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) should take into account. Afro-descendant communities, peasant families, indigenous peoples, and public and private sector organizations were invited to contribute to the process.
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?
