Economic and Municipal Social Council / Council of Development
The establishment and operation of the Municipal Councils is established in Law 176-07 of the National District and the Municipalities, considering it as the organ of citizen representation and consultation in relation to municipal planning and administration. The central motivation for its establishment is the representation of the public interest, to maintain the social dialogue and the institutionalization of organized interests. The councils are made up of elected members of civil society organizations, municipal administration, and the municipal oversight body. The municipality is in charge of establishing the Council, however, civil society will have the right to initiate the creation of the Council.
