National Sectorial Councils
The National Sectorial Councils are bodies of coordination and consultation to establish the plans, programs and goals that each sector has to carry out according to government policies, the National Development Plan and the medium and long term strategy. These Councils are composed of the governing minister, who holds the respective rectory, the highest ranking of each institution belonging to the sector and the Sectoral Planning Secretariat. Likewise, the guiding ministers may convene other institutional hierarchs outside the respective sector as well as citizens, advisers and municipal representatives, when they deem it appropriate. It is worth noting the example of the National Policy for Territorial Planning (PNOT) 2012-2040, which was approved at the Fourth Council of the Territorial Planning and Housing Sector after a public consultation process.
