Regional Councils
The Regional Councils of Chile, created by Law 19.097 in 1991, are legal entities under public law, whose purpose is to make the participation of the regional community effective in the adoption of decisions that have a direct relationship with the social, cultural and economic development of the regions of the country. Its main function is to promote the participation of the regional community in the public policies processes for the development of each region. These councils are composed of councilors elected directly by the population. In particular, the Councils approve the regional development plans and the regional government's budget proposal to adjust them to the Chilean government's national development plan and budget policies. The Regional Council is also responsible for validating the proposal submitted in relation to the use of public resources for a national regional development fund.
