Participatory Approach to Productive Chains
The Participatory Approach to Productive Chains (Span. EPCP) is a democratic innovation that seeks to permanently include all of the stakeholders of the agricultural production chain in group processes focused on dialogue, debate and deliberation of market opportunities, advice and the expansion of the quality of life and agricultural production in rural communities. Their decisions are not binding. At times, the training in the EPCP has been carried out under the direction of different training workshops, with the aim of structuring the learning process in a way that accompanies concrete processes for the approach.
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?
