National Advisory Council on Forestry Policy (CONAFOR)
The National Advisory Council on Forestry Policy (Span. CONAFOR) is the participatory and consultative entity at the Ministerial level in terms of forest production and wildlife. Located within the scope of the Ministry of Agriculture, it is the highest body of coordination in direct relation to the national forestation administration, acting as a space for debate, advice and evaluation with the representation of civil society, the peasant and indigenous sectors and private entrepreneurs dedicated to exploitation, as well as local and regional governments and other ministries involved. Apparently, it was never convened or put into operation despite being the highest level of coordination for other bodies involved in forestry.
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?
