National Consultative Council on Trade and Sustainable Development
The National Consultative Council on Trade and Sustainable Development is a space for dialogue with civil society to promote its active participation in monitoring the implementation of the Multi-Party Trade Agreement with the European Union. The 12 members of the Council were elected by civil society. In addition, the creation of the Council was carried out through a participatory process. Initially, a group was formed with representatives from different ministries and the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS). However, at the request of civil society, the channels for citizen participation were increased. To this end, several regional and national workshops were held to gather input for the preparation of the Council's Internal Regulations. The process was open and interested parties could register through an online form.
