National Commission for Consultation and Decision-Making of the National Youth System
The National Commission for Consultation and Decision-Making of the National Youth System is an organization in which the young representatives of the departments and municipalities of the country agree, plan and decide on the public agendas and the mechanisms of execution of the same in each territory, in this case at the national level. These commissions, at the national, departmental and municipal level, are one of the three components of the National Youth System of the country. The other two components are the Institutional Subsystem of Youth and the Subsystem of Youth Participation. The National Coordination and Decision Commission was created by statutory law 1622 of 2013: "Statute of Juvenile Citizenship", which amended ordinary law 375 of 1997. The main change of the new law is that the legal nature of the youth issue was increased, since statutory law has a higher rank than that of ordinary law because it touches on the fundamental rights or substantive aspects of the Constitution. Other changes included in this new law are that it places greater emphasis on rights assurance, advocacy, capacity building, public investment, authority qualifications, equitable relationships and a differential approach.

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?
