Security and Justice Committees (MSJ-SOS)
A Security and Justice Committee is a governance network that brings together authorities from the three levels of government, the three powers and citizens, to construct a common agenda on security and justice. Through dialogue and collaboration, the committee reaches agreements and defines actionable measures at the local level. Citizens exercise co-responsibility by participating in the development of the agenda and following up on agreements. The working model of the Security and Justice Committee prioritizes a flat hierarchy.
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?
