Gender Equality Plans Montevideo
The City Hall of Montevideo was the first step taken by the state to publish a plan of equality on gender matters. The first plan was published in 2002 and the third in 2014, including planning until 2017. The three plans cover the gender issue and aim to be an input for public policy. All three plans had civil society participation, although there was no fixed planning structure. However, participation was broadened and institutionalized. In the development process of the plans there were different spaces for discussion, such as workshops and consultations with civil society. From the second plan, these mechanisms were established: the working groups continued to work during the implementation of the plan, evaluating the process. From the third plan the mechanism of the "Council for Gender Equality" was formed, a multisectorial council that is also in charge of monitoring the actions set in the plan, among other things.
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?
