Municipal Commissions of Participative Concertation
The Municipal Commissions of Participative Concertation were created by a decree of the Municipal Council of San Salvador with the objective of serving as a permanent mechanism for citizen participation in the municipality. These commissions are in charge of preparing proposals and projects to be included in the government program. In addition, they must also advise on the application of municipal policies, promote audits and propose citizen initiatives. The commissions must be integrated by representatives of the mayor's office, government institutions, civil society organizations, as well as representatives of other citizen participation spaces foreseen in Decree Number Eleven of San Salvador.
