Participatory management committees
The Participative Management Committees were created by Law 5799 in the city of Buenos Aires. They are made up of representatives of the Housing Institute, the Ministry of Human Development and Habitat, delegates from different blocks of the neighborhoods, and social and religious organizations. The Ombudsman's Office of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the People' s Ombudsman's Office and the city's People Defense's Office and Public Ministry are invited to participate too. The purpose of the committees, which meet once a month, is to contribute to the re-urbanization of marginal neighborhoods. For this purpose, the roundtables design re-urbanization projects, establish criteria for the implementation of the projects (e.g., determine the criteria for the allocation of housing) and monitor their progress.
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?
