Protocol for Prior Consultation and Consent with the Indigenous Peoples of Paraguay
The Protocol for Prior Consultation and Consent with the Indigenous Peoples of Paraguay was prepared in workshops. They brought together indigenous leaders and leaders from indigenous organizations from all over the country to participate in the Indigenous Peoples' Federation (FAPI). Due to the lack of clear regulations on consultation and consent processes, but to ensure effective compliance with national and international regulations, the protocol was approved by indigenous leaders and presented to the National Indigenous Institute. The final objective is to transform it into law.
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?
