Advisory Board of the Unit for the Search for Missing People
The Advisory Council of the Unit for the Search for Missing People is made up of representatives of eight government agencies whose functions are related to the search for missing people, and six civil society organizations working on issues of abduction and the search for missing persons. The Council advises the Unit's Directorate, providing input for the formulation of national and regional search plans and preparing annual public follow-up reports. Each of the organizations selected their representatives autonomously. The organizations were selected through a procedure coordinated by the Colombian Commission of Jurists and the organization Criterios de Ruta. Fifty-four civil society organizations applied to participate, and an accompanying group composed of the ICRC and United Nations agencies monitored the autonomy of the election.
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?
