E-Consultations for the Portal of the Dominican State
The website of the Dominican Government (Portal del Estado Dominicano) was launched as part of the E-government National Strategy (Estrategia Nacional de Gobierno Electrónico 2004-2008). As part of this strategy, the Dominican government pledged to create a forum giving citizens a direct, clustered and accessible space for interacting with the government and receiving relevant information. The main aim was to centralize the e-government and ensure that information that flows between the government and its citizens is streamlined. As part of opening up and intensifying the communication between the government and its citizens, the website also has a space for E-consultations where the Dominican Government asks for public feedback/answers on particular issues.
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?
