National Planning Council
The National Planning Council is an organization through which citizens can contribute in the planning of the phases and processes of the country. It has an advisory nature and brings together representatives of territorial entities and the different sectors that integrate civil society: economic, social, ecological, community, minority, women, educational and cultural sectors. The members of the Council are appointed by the President of the Republic from a list that must be sent by legally recognized organizations that represent the respective sector. The National Planning Council was created by constitutional provision in 1991 as part of the National Planning System together with the Territorial Planning Councils, with the main function of serving as a forum for discussion of the National Development Plan. Later in 1994, with the regulations that were developed to comply with the constitutional provisions, the guidelines for its composition and operation are established. In this way, the President of the Republic must submit to the Council this National Development Plan, so that its members discuss, analyze and render their concept with their observations and recommendations. Subsequently, the Council should periodically monitor and evaluate its implementation.
