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 results and impacts and in defining products and activities. 

Participatory budgeting is a process through which citizens, through the construction of agreements with regional and local governments, can allocate budget resources to programs and projects they consider priorities in harmony with the Development Plan. UPRA, not being a regional or local entity, is not obligated to conduct this process, according to Law 1757 of 2015 (articles 89, 90, and 91).  ​​​​​​​​

This participation mechanism aims to gather the opinions, suggestions, comments, and contributions that value groups have regarding the programs, projects, products, or procedures carried out by the entity. This is useful for prioritizing problems, topics for accountability; evaluating programs or projects at any time during the public management cycle or improving procedures and legal provisions.

Observations and Responses:

The Rural Land Planning, Land Adaptation, and Agricultural Uses Unit (UPRA) aims to guide land management policy for agricultural uses. To this end, UPRA plans and produces guidelines, indicators, and technical criteria for decision-making on the social ordering of rural land property, the efficient use of land for agricultural purposes, land adaptation, the 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 in decision-making for the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, according to the terms described above. Thus, UPRA does not issue administrative acts or general norms in the development of its mission, but it does make available to the community the projects and administrative acts in which the entity has participated.
