Departmental Culture Councils
One of the resolutions and recommendations of the National Assembly of Culture of 2006 was to establish Departmental Culture Councils in all departments. In this way, the cities of Montevideo in 2007 and Maldonado in 2011 established Departmental Culture Councils. The two bring together representatives of different cultural organizations and are chaired by the Director General of the Department of Culture, and although decisions are not binding, they make recommendations and receive information from administrative and executive bodies to evaluate cultural policy.
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?
