Regional, Provincial and Municipal Productive Economic Councils

The Productive Economic Councils are authorities for coordination and participation for the elaboration of public policies, planning, monitoring and evaluation of the Communal Agricultural Productive Revolution (The Law of Communal Agricultural Productive Revolution was created to benefit the indigenous and peasant sector and recover a vision of agricultural production based on agro-ecological principles). They operate within their territorial jurisdiction (regional, provincial, and municipal) and are composed of the corresponding governmental authorities, the native indigenous organizations of rural dwellers, intercultural and Afro-Bolivian communities and representatives of the agro-business sector. They design the Food Production Plan of their jurisdiction, oversee and evaluate its implementation.

?

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?
