Platform for Citizen Participation
The Platform for Citizen Participation is a tool that allows the different state agencies to enable a digital channel for participation, collaboration and decision-making with citizens. It is part of the tasks established by Law 20.500 regarding the establishment of mandatory citizen participation channels. Through this platform, Civil Society Councils, Citizen Consultation Portals and Participatory Public Accounts Portals can be enabled, among other participatory mechanisms. This innovation is materialized through open-source software DECIDIM, that allows the best open-source applications to be used by the Public Sector.

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?
