Socio-Environmental Area Monitoring Committees
The Socio-Environmental Area Monitoring Committees evaluate and assess the socio-economic impact of oil companies' activities on indigenous populations. Each committee is composed of a representative of each concerned municipality, two representatives of the affected indigenous communities, and one representative of the operating company. The goal is to evaluate the possible socio-economic impacts at the local level, and design and implement actions that enhance the positive impacts and mitigate the adverse consequences of hydrocarbon activities.
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?
