Virtual Citizens? Initiatives
The Virtual Citizens? Initiatives are proposals presented by citizens or social organizations on matters of Legislation, Control and Management through the website of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly of Bolivia. The Commissions and Departmental Brigades are obliged to channel the virtual proposals. In the case of rejecting a proposal, the Commissions / Brigades have the obligation to inform the citizen of the reasons. The Special and Permanent Commission for Citizen Participation organizes and monitors virtual participation activities, including the organization of virtual forums, blogs and other interactive formats on topics of public interest.
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?
