Co-administration Agreements
The Co-administration Agreements are established between public or private, national or foreign, and non-profit organizations whose social purpose is the conservation and protection of natural resources and the environment, as well as protecting the rights of indigenous peoples or specific communities with legally recognized status. These agreements jointly manage collective access to Protected Areas, public infrastructure, and recreational tourism, excluding the areas where land concessions have been granted. Furthermore, they aim to support educational programs and services provided by the State, promote activities for the protection and conservation of natural resources and biological diversity, assist in the control of compliance with the regulatory framework by users, permit holders and concessionaires.
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?
