Strategic plan for participatory cantonal development of the Municipality of Acerrí
The strategic plan for participatory cantonal development of the Municipality of Acerrí began in 2002, with the municipality's intention to develop a strategic plan for participatory cantonal development, which in turn is the product of a process of awareness and training on the scope and new legal obligations based on legal changes in 1998 in the Costa Rican municipal regime, promoted by the "Local Development Project" (PRODELO). As part of this participatory planning process, a "Development Plan Commission", composed of 15 members, most of them professionals in different areas people who had a well-known political affiliation, but were not actively involved in partisan and electoral processes. Through workshops, diagnostics and participatory forums, a Cantonal Development Plan is written, which initiates formal channels for its approval.

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?
