Let?s Talk
Let?s Talk (span. Dialoguemos) is a project that aimed at opening up the processes within political parties when designing public policy proposals. The intention was to bring forward a coherent ideological proposal together with the specific needs of citizens. The procedure to hold dialogues includes an initial stage, in which the different parties identify their priorities, then communicate these priorities to the population, and receive inputs that can be reflected in their policy proposals through face-to-face and virtual mechanisms. As a result, the parties generate more adequate public policies thanks to citizen participation.
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?
