Council to the House
Council to the House was an initiative implemented by DemoLab, the Bogotá Open Council Lab. Through this initiative, citizens were invited to register for the possibility of being selected for a citizen participation process. Through a random drawing, more than 400 citizens were selected to participate in a direct dialogue with the Councilors to debate the District Development Plan of Bogota. The results of the discussions were made public and DemoLab shared the conclusions of this exercise to be taken into account during the plenary of the Development Plan.
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?
