Public consultation platform
The public consultation platform was created by the Government of Costa Rica to comply with one of the commitments made in the Open Government Partnership. It is a space where representatives of various ministries make available to the public projects and regulations dealing with different topics, in order to collect observations and comments from citizens, in a framework characterized by the principles of transparency, accountability and collaboration. This includes, but is not limited to, projects that promote open government initiatives. Citizens can view the contributions made by other citizens and submit their own contributions by filling out a form.
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?
