Committee on Indigenous Affairs

The Committee on Indigenous Affairs (Span. CAI) is a consultative body with representation from various sectors of the State and from peasant and native communities, projected within the Ministry for the Promotion of Women and Human Development (Span. PROMUDEH) to hear social demands and articulate them with development policies and programs for these communities, guaranteeing their special representation within the state as a minority. It was effectively formed but with overlapping functions with the Technical Secretariat for Indigenous Affairs (Span. SETAI) and therefore only functioned from 2001 to 2003, dissolving once the National Commission for the Development of the Amazonian Peoples was created.

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?
