Territorial Planning Councils
The Territorial Planning Councils are local, municipal, district and departmental bodies in which citizens, civil society and the private sector can participate in the planning of their respective territories, insofar as the proposal of the local or regional administration regarding the Development Plan is discussed and evaluated. The CTP were established by the Political Constitution of Colombia of 1991 and its regulation continued with the creation of the Laws concerning the Constitution between 1994 and 1997. In the CTPs, citizens advance proposals, objectives, goals and strategies for local and regional development plans, such that governors can take them into account to adjust the final Development Plan. Its importance lies in providing a space for civil society to interact in an organized way with their leaders and achieve agreements in the development of the territorial entity.
