Citizen Dialogues of the Citizen Participation Plan
The Citizen Dialogues of the Citizen Participation Plan were convened in 2014 by the Ministry of Education of Chile, with the purpose of enabling citizens and representatives of the educational sector to make contributions that would help design an educational reform. Fifty-three dialogues were held across the country, one per province. Although the demands resulting from the dialogues were reflected in a national report, institutions such as the Chilean Students' Confederation (Confech) abandoned the participatory process because of the non-binding nature of the dialogues and because they considered they would not lead to an effective reform.
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?
