Departmental Planning Mechanism on Recent Memory
The Planning Mechanisms are participatory tools that allow the inclusion of citizens in the development of departmental projects and policies. In 2015, the Secretariat for Human Rights of the Government of Canelones launched a planning mechanism with the objective of developing the theme of recent memory in the policies of the departmental government. Open meetings were held in different localities of the department, in order to receive contributions from organized civil society and neighbors on the necessary measures to promote memory in the territory. Until 2019, this mechanism had been activated a total of 6 times.
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?
