National Council for State Reform
The National Council for State Reform is a deliberative and consultative organization in which numerous secretariats of the Presidency as well as diverse sectors of civil society are represented such as universities, churches and NGOs. It was created in 2001 to replace the previous Commission for Reform and Modernization of the State in such a way as to better involve the citizens in the planning and elaboration of proposals for the restructuring of the Dominican State. Among other results, this organization has brought to fruition the establishment of certain new secretariats as well as the issuance of draft laws.
