Selection Criteria for Good Practices

General Appreciation of the chosen decision making process

When examining a practice submitted to COPEGOL, the Selection Committee will first of all assess the decision making process within which the practice evolves (e.g. the general quality of the planning process in the submitting sector), based on the following criteria:

1. Participation: the process should include citizens for its implementation. In relevant cases, the process should also demonstrate existing cooperation between sector, district and technical services.
2. Transparency: the different steps of the process should be executed in an open and public way, and allow citizens and other concerned people to get relevant information;
3. Voice/Accountability: the process should allow for listening, taking into account and responding to demands, needs and queries expressed by citizens.

3. Financial and technical feasibility of the practice

Socio-economic impact of the practice
