Youth Participation Council
The Youth Participation Council is the representative body that operated in the orbit of the National Youth Council between 2002-2007, with broad representation of different organizations and associations that nurtured youth up to 19 years of age, including political parties, youth associations, universities and secondary and tertiary educational institutions, as well as specific sports and minority organizations. The objective of this Council was to generate a space for discussion and consultation with the beneficiaries of youth policies themselves. It had the power to receive, evaluate and offer proposals on representation and consultation to local, regional and national governments.
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?
