Dialogues for El Salvador
"Dialogues for El Salvador" is a program implemented by the Government of El Salvador with the objective of designing, implementing and monitoring public policies in a consensual manner through the inclusion, articulation and dialogue among all sectors and actors in the country. To this end, the program formed three councils that bring together actors from civil society, academia, the private sector, think tanks, and public institutions at all levels of government. These councils are: the Council for Citizen Security and Coexistence (CNSCC), the National Education Council (CONED), and the National Council for Environmental Sustainability and Vulnerability (CONASAV). This initiative also has the support of international organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Spanish Agency for Cooperation and Development (AECID), among others.

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?
