Pilot Project on Citizen Participation for Public Policy Advocacy
The Pilot Project on Citizen Participation for Public Policy Advocacy was an initiative implemented by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal with the support of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). This project was carried out with the objective of following up on Article 15 on citizen participation of the Electoral and Political Parties Law. The initiative was implemented in five departments, where workshops were held on different topics, including democracy, representation, and electoral processes, among others. Representatives of civil society organizations, local authorities and academics participated in the workshops.
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?
