Asunción Neighborhood Commission Coordinations

The Coordinations of the Asunción Neighborhood Commissionsare integrated by two representatives from each Neighborhood Commission in a given area, and have the function of representing the Neighborhood Commissions to the local and national governments, as well as in relation to the private sector. By encompassing a larger territory, the Coordinations have more influence than the Neighborhood Commissions in the public policy process.

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?
