National Council for Citizen Participation and Strengthening of Civil Society
The National Council for Citizen Participation and Strengthening of Civil Society is a body of citizen participation whose main mission is to advise the Presidency of the Republic on issues related to the institutionalization of citizen participation and the strengthening of civil society in the country. The Council is made up of 24 councilors from a wide variety of civil society organizations from different regions of the country. Among other functions, the Council is responsible for preparing proposals for reform Law No. 20.500 on Associations and Citizen Participation. Finally, the President of the Republic, Michelle Bachelet, has requested that the Council carry out its mission in a participatory manner and that it should also consider contributing to the Constituent Process begun in 2015 in Chile.
