Anti-bureaucracy Crusade

The Anti-bureaucracy Crusade was a citizen participation exercise organized by the National Government in 2011 so that citizens could contribute to the identification of the most useless and difficult procedures within the Colombian State, in order to generate a method to simplify them and in this way reduce corruption. More than 70 000 people participated with their contributions and comments, from which the State drew up Decree 0019 of 2012, also known as the Anti-bureaucracy Decree. With the mere issuance of the Decree, 400 procedures were eliminated, and in the course of 2012, 259 more were eliminated, which represents 40% of all formalities at the national level.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
