Seedbeds of Land and Territory
The Seedbeds of Land and Territory are the citizen participation strategy of the National Land Agency, within the framework of the public policy of social organization of rural property. The strategy is formally created through resolution 740 of 2017, with the purpose of carrying out local participatory processes with Afro-descendant, Indigenous and Peasant communities who have been victimized by the different actors of the armed conflict, and do not have legal security on their lands. By 2018, 28 seedbeds have been formed throughout the country, each with up to 100 leaders who represent the different populations of the intervened municipality. As a result of the process of each seedbed, the participatory elaboration of the municipal plans for the social ordering of rural property is expected, which serve as a community tool to demand that government policies are complied with, and are configured as the first step to formalize the land of the most vulnerable rural communities.
Institutional design
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?
