Proposal for a Democratic Parity Bill in Paraguay
The Democratic Parity Impulse Group was created in 2014 with the goal to develop a Democratic Parity Bill in Paraguay, and then work for its submission in Congress. The Impulse Group is made up of female politicians from different parties, political women's networks, civil society organizations, international organizations and the Ministry of Women. The Group also promotes the debate on democracy and parity through broad citizen participation in debates and working groups on the bill.
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?
