HERNANDEZ BONIVENTO, José Andrés. Analysis of mechanisms of local participation in Colombia: Audiences of Accountability and Territorial Planning Councils. Civilizar [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.32, pp.67-80. ISSN 1657-8953.  https://doi.org/10.22518/16578953.818.

This article aims to analyze the design and implementation of two institutional mechanisms to promote citizen participation at the local level in Colombia: Audiences for Accountability and Territorial Planning Councils (CTP). After the analysis, which involves a comparative study of its implementation in two Colombian municipalities, deficiencies in the institutional design of these mechanisms are identified, implying the need to rethink and reformulate these tools in the search to consolidate citizen participation and to improve government actions in the local Colombian sphere.

Keywords : Citizen participation; accountability; institutional design; Local government; Colombia.
