Departmental Youth Boards (MDJ)
The Departmental Youth Boards (MDJ) are a project by the National Institute of Youth INJU. This concept was started in 2010, which aims to create a space for young people to participate actively in the development, formulation and implementation of public policies. By 2015, the declared goal was to reach 75% of the departments with established boards. In addition, it is planned to join together all the MDJs in a "Federal Youth Council" at the national level.
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?
