Consultations for the General Youth Law 49-00
The Consultations for the General Youth Law 49-00 were born as a nationwide youth forum aimed at political visibility to address relevant issues and set a prominent agenda for youth issues. Part of the forum was an Intersectorial Committee, which drafted a National Youth Policy from 1998-2003. More than 250 youth organizations were consulted for the policy. In 1999, the Committee submitted a proposed youth law to the Congress, which approved a modified version in August 2000. With the support of international organizations such as the German Development Cooperation Agency, local implementation programs were developed. Specifically, this meant that members of the administration and civil society groups were trained in voicing their preferences and translating them into effective local policy.
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?
