Plural Advisory Council
The Plural Advisory Council was created by the government of Neuquén province in 2020, in the framework of the coronavirus pandemic. Its purpose is to be a platform for dialogue between the public and private sectors, citizens and civil society organizations, to jointly seek solutions to the socioeconomic problems the province faces. The Council seeks to identify and prioritize problems, performs socioeconomic diagnoses and formulates short, medium and long-term proposals, which are sent in the form of recommendations to the provincial Executive Power. The Council is expected to develop specific proposals for vulnerable groups (eg women, the elderly, the unemployed, people with disabilities, etc.).
