Local Government Strengthening Project
The "Local Government Strengthening Project" aims to reduce rural poverty and inequality through promoting collaboration between municipal governments, producer organizations and indigenous communities, strengthening mechanisms of accountability. To accomplish this objective, participatory workshops are held, in which the roles of municipalities and authorities are identified, the needs of small producers raised, and development plans are drawn up. The workshops also involve the new municipal authorities.
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?
