State Councils for the Planning and Coordination of Public Policies
The State Councils for the Planning and Coordination of Public Policies are territorial planning entities at the regional level, in which plans for general territorial policy are discussed and formulated. They are composed of members of the regional and municipal governments, along with representatives from organized civil society, such as unions, rural poor organizations and neighborhood associations. These councils have existed in legislation since 2002, but academic research highlights doubts about their effectiveness and functioning.
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?
