Women's Forum
The Women's Forum was created in order to promote the widest possible citizen participation. It is made up of social organizations working on behalf of women, has consultative status and convenes at the National Institute of Women, at least three times a year. In this space, the issues determined by its General Assembly and those proposed by the Board of Directors or Executive Presidency of the National Institute of Women of Costa Rica are discussed. The organizational structure of the Forum consists of a General Assembly comprised of registered Social Organizations, a Coordinating Committee, a representative of the Organizations before the INAMU Board of Directors and an accounting Committee.
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?
