True Neighborhoods and Communities Program
The True Neighborhoods and Communities Program is a comprehensive territorial transformation project that seeks the physical revitalization of neighborhoods as well as the social inclusion of the inhabitants of disadvantaged neighborhoods. The Program has two main axes: to provide basic services and to encourage citizen participation in decision-making on issues affecting the community. It is designed to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants by meeting the demands of the neighborhoods and communities and through the execution of integral projects which include civil works and community development actions.
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?
