National Council for Citizen Participation
The National Council for Citizen Participation was created by Law 1757 in 2015, within the scope of the Ministry of the Interior, with the aim of coordinating national policies for citizen participation. To this end, representatives of various ministries and state agencies at the national and local levels are invited to participate, as well as representatives of organized civil society, universities, trade unions, business associations, peasant associations, ethnic minorities, women and youth organizations, and representatives of students and disabled people. The Council participants are nominated by the respective organizations and sectors, and subsequently appointed for a period of 4 years.

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?
