Itinerant Citizen Assembly of Bogota
The Itinerant Citizen Assembly of Bogota is organized by DemoLab, the Bogotá Open Council Laboratory, with the objective of promoting citizen participation in the management of the city. Through a random process, citizens were selected and invited to participate as social representatives in a deliberation exercise. Of the citizens selected, 110 agreed to participate in the Assembly, which was divided into 6 permanent commissions to identify the city's main problems. The Assembly will meet for 4 years to deliberate on issues relevant to citizens in Bogotá.
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?
