Consultation on the National Plan for Development, Protection and Social Inclusion

The Consultation on the National Plan for Development, Protection and Social Inclusion is a deliberative process brining together civil society and municipal governments to elaborate the policy of development, protection and social inclusion. It consists of a series of consultations involving municipal and departmental authorities. An autonomous institution that takes into account contributions from the development of the National Development Plan should organize the consultations. Once the proposal of the Plan has been prepared, the text must be validated in a series of consultations in departmental assemblies with representatives of mayors, social organizations, businessmen and other local actors. In a final stage, a Plan Monitoring Commission with invited representatives from civil society and academia is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the plan and offering recommendations for improvement.

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?
