Gana Municipal

The GANA Municipal initiative was implemented by the Government of Nariño and the Mayor's Office of Pasto with the objective of promoting citizen participation in the public management and decision-making process. Under the logic of a participatory budget, the authorities presented citizens with several project proposals for them to vote for the most relevant ones for their communities. The voting to select the projects was done through a virtual platform with a local network, which allowed the participation of citizens without Internet access. The initiative was implemented in 58 municipalities and in the city of Pasto.

?

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?
