National Youth Action Network
The National Youth Action Network was founded in 2010 as a result of the National Youth Assembly held on April 10 and 11, 2010. More than 300 young people from all over the Dominican Republic met for the purpose of discussing the possibilities of a renewed youth culture in the Dominican Republic. It was born as a space for debate, deliberation and thinking towards a new approach to how young people should participate in politics, to reduce inequalities in Dominican youth and their access to public goods and services. The network oversees public policies - in particular the implementation of the National Youth Act of 2000, as well as the policies of the National Youth Secretariat.
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?
