Departmental Citizens' Assemblies
The Departmental Citizens? Assemblies are pluralist and permanent spaces of dialogue, planning and coordination that involve social actors and public institutions to make strategic decisions guiding and guaranteeing the participatory management of the development of the country. The departmental governors and the Secretariat of Citizen Participation Transparency and Anti-Corruption coordinate them. They are composed of local leaders, representatives of community organizations, youth committees, women's committees, water provision boards, cooperatives and producer associations.

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?
