Buenos Aires' Open Government Action Plan
Buenos Aires? Open Government Action Plan is a participatory scheme in which government entities, in conjunction with civil society, agree on items that the City Government must commit to as part of its open government agenda. For this purpose, the participants map their concerns, needs and problems in work tables and seek to agree, in a consensual manner, on a set of commitments. In the Second Open Government Action Plan, deliberative forums, sectoral participatory workshops, and an online form were incorporated. Citizens were asked in the form about the topics they considered should be included in the commitments.
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?
