Citizenship and Congress
Citizenship and Congress is a technological platform created for the legislative period 2014-2018, in order to bring closer citizens and parliamentary representatives from the departments of Chocó, Nariño and Bolivar who decided to join the initiative. In the platform, citizens have the possibility of interacting through digital means with their representatives, making them requests and proposals on the issues that affect them and receiving information about the management, trajectory, profile and attendance to the plenary of the congressmen. Additionally, Congressmen report on their management, study and analyze the contributions of citizens and respond before their concerns through the platform, for example with videos.
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?
