Process of Construction of the Indigenous People?s Consultation Mechanism
The Process of Construction of the Indigenous People?s Consultation Mechanism is a participatory program promoted by the Costa Rican State through which it seeks to establish, jointly and exclusively, the Indigenous People?s Consultation Mechanism, involving the Government and the native peoples of the twenty-four indigenous territories, in order to satisfy the obligation of the State of Costa Rica to consult said communities in a free, prior and informed manner, through appropriate procedures and through their representative institutions whenever measures are likely to affect them directly.
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?
