Local Development Boards
The Local Development Boards are a body that is more decentralized than the Community Boards, although they work with the latter in the elaboration of Township Plans. A township may have, for example, ten Local Development Boards. In turn, the Community Boards accredit the Local Development Boards before the mayor's office, establish their members' selection process and approve their internal regulations. Frequently, members are elected through citizen assemblies and remain in office for a given period of time. The Local Development Boards allow citizen participation in decision making for the coordination, organization and planning of the integral development of their communities and townships.
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?
