Panama District Planning
Panama district planning is the participatory development of the District Strategic Plan, an instrument that determines the major guidelines of land-use planning, in coordination with national and regional plans. Government representatives, technicians, civil society organizations and citizens, as well as the IDOM SUMA COTRANS consortium, which is in charge of the design and implementation of the participatory process, take part in this city planning process. The participatory process includes the creation of an inter-institutional Technical Committee of public representatives and government experts; an Expanded Technical Committee that extraordinarily convenes private, academic and civil actors to discuss technical issues; civil groups that are invited to participate in workshops, and the participation of the citizens of the district through digital and public consultation mechanisms.
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?
