Councils in the Neighborhoods
The Councils in the Neighborhoods is a participation space developed by the Deliberative Councils of several municipalities across Argentina, which consists of holding Council sessions outside the institution, in different neighborhoods and locations, allowing deliberation to be public and of free access to residents. In addition, the active participation of citizens is allowed, who can collaborate with proposals on the issues that affect their neighborhood and incorporate their requests to the Council debate.
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?
