Regional Councils for Urban and Rural Development
The Regional Councils for Urban and Rural Development were created under the Development Council System (SICODE), with the aim of overcoming certain territorial divisions and grouping different departments with similar challenges and situations - so that together they could find common solutions. These councils monitor and oversee the actions of the Departmental Development Councils and public officials, promote the participation of civil society and the decentralization of public power, deliberate on plans that can benefit their respective region, among other functions. They are made up of members of civil society (representatives of indigenous peoples, peasant organizations, workers associations, among others) and of the public administration.
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?
