Closer to my People
The "Closer to my People" program was organized by the Municipality of Chisec. Over a year, the mayor visited the 13 micro-regions of the Municipality, organizing citizens' assemblies in which projects, proposals and suggestions could be presented. Between 100 and 150 people and community leaders participated. The agenda of each meeting was as follows: prayer, singing of the national anthem, official welcoming, presentation of work teams, presentation of administrative and technical progress, spaces for communities, problem-solving, needs, concerns and solutions, work strategies (analysis, discussion and definition of actions felt by the population), reading and signing of the accord, followed by lunch.
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?
