Public Consultation Platform
The Public Consultation Platform was created by the Ministry of Modernization to foster citizens? digital participation. Citizens can comment on policy proposals, assess positively or negatively the arguments of other users by clicking a thumbs up or thumbs down icon, answer their comments and also spread one or several consultations in their social networks. Between 2016 and 2020, more than 30 consultations were made on the platform, and they registered more than a thousand citizen-collaborations. The government agencies that published more consultations during that period were the Modernization Secretariat, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Anti-Corruption Office.
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?
