National Permanent Dialogue System
The National Permanent Dialogue System is a space created by the country's executive branch with the objective of establishing a dialogue with civil society, within the framework of a strategy of conflict resolution and democratic governance. The system is made up of a board, chosen by the President of the Republic, whose members follow the guidelines of the technical team and those emerging from the multisectorial dialogues carried out at local/regional/national level, in order to take the final decisions. The dialogues deal with the following topics: 1) budget agreements; 2) sustainable resolution of conflicts; and 3) the presentation and approval of legislative initiatives. On May 2013, the National Permanent Dialogue System was reformed and its "permanent" character was modified.
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?
