Citizen Consultations: We have to talk about Chile
The Citizen Consultations: We have to talk about Chile was an initiative of the Catholic University and the University of Chile. It is a digital consultation in which citizens are asked a general question about Chile and 17 thematic questions, which address various issues, for example, education, health, poverty, pensions, etc. The consultation takes place on the initiative's online portal. The universities then systematize the results of the consultations and deliver them to public sector authorities so that they can serve as inputs to guide public policies.

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?
