Participatory Investment Plan
The Participatory Investment Plan is a process of local decision-making between the municipal government and the population. It involves different mechanisms of citizen participation for delegating the municipal budget dedicated to public investment in social spending and infrastructure. The resources that are allocated usually come from fees for services and taxes, as well as the contribution from private enterprises, international cooperation and citizens. The Plan is part of the Strategic Participatory Plan that serves as a guide for the development of long term municipal strategies.
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?
