National Indigenous Round Table on the Environment (MNIMA)
Created in 2013, the National Indigenous Round Table on the Environment (MNIMA) is a space for permanent dialogue between indigenous communities and the government of El Salvador. The relationship between the Roundtable and the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources was formalized in 2016 through the signing of a letter of understanding to strengthen the link between the two institutions. The roundtable is made up of representatives from various indigenous organizations in the country and is a tool for making proposals and exchanging ideas regarding the consequences of climate change based on the knowledge of indigenous peoples.

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?
