Colombia

National Pact for Peace

The National Pact for Peace was a participatory exercise carried out between 2013 and 2016, which sought to unify the different stakeholders from the civil and political sectors in the adoption of consensuses and lasting political agreements on the structural issues associated with the Colombian armed conflict. Through flexible and participatory methodologies and pedagogical practices agreed upon by the stakeholders, the Pact was built on regional and sectorial pacts with multiple modalities such as round tables, talks and assemblies. The themes on which the Pact was based were for support in the negotiation process between the Government and the FARC guerrillas, the search for ways of reconciliation and citizen coexistence, the expansion of democracy, the construction of a model of equitable and inclusive development and education, and pedagogy for peace.

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?
