Dialogues for the Costa Rica of the Bicentennial
Dialogues for the Costa Rica of the Bicentennial is a series of spaces for deliberation arising from the need to build a national vision on the future of the country that would materialize in the National Development Plan of 2006-2010. These dialogues would consist of commitments assumed by the Government to foster a broad pluralistic discussion on issues that are essential for the future of the country, often controversial or highly complex. The Dialogues sought to be, above all, a way of seeking solutions for all through processes of debate and broad social participation. Within the framework of the commitment for the initiative of the Dialogues for the Costa Rica of the Bicentennial, the proposal of the Bicentennial Project would be developed. This proposal sought to complement the deliberative instrument provided for in the National Development Plan (Span. PND), with a mechanism for monitoring and evaluating medium- and long-term objectives, targets and indicators. This mechanism, installed in the institutional framework of the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policies, reintroduces the importance of long-term planning and prospective analysis in the institution's regular tasks. The Dialogues would revolve around the following themes: Social Policy Axis; Productive Policy; Environment, Energy and Telecommunications; Institutional Reform and Foreign Policy. However, these dialogues did not materialize because political conditions at the time did not allow for this.
