Grand National Conversation
The Grand National Conversation was an initiative of the Presidency of the Republic, with the purpose of allowing the citizens of Colombia to make proposals in a wide range of topics. They had the opportunity to participate in participatory roundtables, in which specific topics were discussed and moderators specialized in the subject were invited; and through an online portal created for this purpose, where more than 13,000 citizen proposals were uploaded. The proposals can be consulted on the website, and the contributions made at the deliberative roundtables are set out in reports, which are also available on the initiative's website.
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?
