Town Halls for Peace
The purpose of the Peace Town Halls was to discuss the peace building process in the country and the agreements between the government and the FARC-EP, establishing guidelines and formulating proposals to put an end to the armed conflict. They were convened following the guidelines of Law 134 of 1994, in several municipalities throughout the country. The Town Halls were frequently aimed at supporting the agreements that emerged from the Havana Dialogue Table and demanding their implementation.
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?
