National Social and Economic Development Policy
The Provincial, Regional and Municipal Development Councils are advisory bodies found at all three levels of government, which are focused on the elaboration of proposals for a National Social and Economic Development Policy. The councils can also, on a limited basis, implement and monitor development policies. At each level the councils have 4 representatives from the civil, commercial, professional and educational sectors. The councils work as a space for multilevel elaboration, where the contributions generated in the local councils are taken up by the regional councils and then by the provincial councils, to be elevated to the Ministry at the national level.
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?
