Development Programs with Territorial Approach
The Territorial Approach Development Programs are a national participatory strategy, contemplated in the Peace Agreement signed in Havana, which is committed to a structural transformation of the Colombian countryside in the 170 municipalities most affected by the armed conflict. The Programs began to be designed with the communities in 2016, at the head of the Territorial Renewal Agency, from where they were responsible for gathering information on the projects prioritized by the communities for the next 10 years. In total, 16 Action Plans were signed at the national level from the 16 prioritized regions, in which the communities were organized in deliberative working groups around 8 thematic pillars. The final purpose is that these plans, agreed between the communities and the official authorities, become a management tool for local, regional and national governments, and an instrument of demand in the fulfillment of rights by the 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?
