National Council for Intergenerational Equality

The National Council for Intergenerational Equality is the deliberative and consultative body established at the national level from the Organic Law of Councils for Equality and the National Law of Participation. It is composed of representatives from civil society and the State, with the aim of ensuring equity between the generations and contributing to this issue, for the production of public policies in Ecuador. Created by the Federal Constitution of 2008, it came to replace the National Council of Children and Adolescents (Span. CNNA). Together with the other councils for equality, it is a central mechanism in the new conception of participation introduced by the Federal Constitution of 2008.
