Participate

Participatory planning is a mechanism that allows civil society to make decisions regarding the direction of policies, plans, programs, projects, or procedures according to their needs. Participation can occur in defining the expected outcomes and impacts, as well as in determining products and activities.

Participatory budgeting is a process through which citizens, by building agreements with regional and local governments, can allocate budget resources to programs and projects they consider priorities, in alignment with the Development Plan. UPRA, as it is not a regional or local entity, is not required to carry out this process, according to Law 1757 of 2015 (articles 89, 90, and 91).  ​​​​​​​​

Observations and Responses:

The Rural Land Planning, Land Adaptation, and Agricultural Uses Unit (UPRA) aims to guide land management policy for agricultural uses. To achieve this, UPRA plans and produces guidelines, indicators, and technical criteria for decision-making on the social ordering of rural land ownership, the efficient use of land for agricultural purposes, land adaptation, rural land market, and the monitoring and evaluation of public policies on these matters, in accordance with Decree Law 4145 of 2011. Similarly, the entity serves as technical and legal support for decision-making at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, as previously described. Thus, UPRA does not issue administrative acts or general regulations in the development of its mission but does make available to the community the projects and administrative acts in which the entity has participated.
