Participation mechanisms Sample Clauses

Participation mechanisms the active participation of the various communities — men and women — in conjunction with the authorities of territorial bodies, is the basis of the DPTFs. To that end, forums will be set up at the various territorial levels to guarantee citizens’ participation in the competent authorities’ decision-making process to develop what has been agreed in the CRR, attended by representatives of the communities, including rural women and their organisations, and monitored by supervisory bodies (namely the Office of the Inspector General, the Office of the Attorney General, the Office of the Comptroller General and the Office of the Ombudsman), in order: • To define the priorities for implementation of national plans (roads, irrigation, infrastructure, services, etc.) in the territory, in accordance with the needs of the population; • To guarantee community involvement in the execution of the works and their upkeep; • To establish mechanisms of follow-up and oversight of projects. The systems for participation established for the preparation of Development Programmes with a Territorial-Based Focus seek to strengthen participation by citizens in decisions that affect them within the framework of the Constitution, promote solidarity associations and invigorate local democracy. Under no circumstances do they seek to limit the executive powers of elected officials or the powers of composite bodies (Congress, municipal councils and departmental assemblies). Within the framework of the DPTFs, the general characteristics and times will be expressly established to guarantee that these systems for participation function correctly.

Participation mechanisms. Active participation by the communities — both men and women — in conjunction with the territorial authorities, is the basis of the territory-based development programmes. For that purpose, mechanisms will be set up at the different territorial levels, to guarantee citizen participation in the competent authorities’ decision-making process, so as to implement what was agreed in the comprehensive rural reform. These mechanisms will have community representation, including the participation of rural women and their organizations, and support from supervisory bodies to: • Define priorities for the implementation of national plans (roads, irrigation, infrastructure, services, etc.) in the territory, in accordance with the population’s needs; • Guarantee community involvement in the execution of the works and their upkeep; • Establish project follow-up and oversight mechanisms. The participation mechanisms created for the development of the territory- based development plans seek to strengthen citizen participation in decisions affecting them under the Constitution, promote solidarity associations and invigorate local democracy. In no way are they intended to limit the executive powers of elected officials or the powers of collegiate bodies (Congress, councils and assemblies). In the context of the territory-based development programmes, the general characteristics and timeframes will be explicitly defined to ensure the proper functioning of these participation mechanisms.

  • Public Participation 79. This Consent Decree shall be lodged with the Court for a period of not less than 30 Days for public notice and comment in accordance with 28 C.F.R. ' 50.7. The United States reserves the right to withdraw or withhold its consent if the comments regarding the Consent Decree disclose facts or considerations indicating that the Consent Decree is inappro- priate, improper, or inadequate.

  • DETERMINATION OF DBE PARTICIPATION A firm must be an eligible DBE and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Once a firm is determined to be an eligible DBE, the total amount paid to the DBE for work performed with his/her own forces is counted toward the DBE goal. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward DBE goals only if the subprovider is itself a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward DBE goals. A DBE subprovider may subcontract no more than 70% of a federal aid contract. The DBE subprovider shall perform not less than 30% of the value of the contract work with assistance of employees employed and paid directly by the DBE; and equipment owned or rented directly by the DBE. DBE subproviders must perform a commercially useful function required in the contract in order for payments to be credited toward meeting the contract goal. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for executing the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself . When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. A Provider may count toward its DBE goal a portion of the total value of the contract amount paid to a DBE joint venture equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract performed by the DBE. Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department’s contract number or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department.

  • Mandatory Participation Participation in the Special Pay Plan is mandatory for all 24 eligible teachers.

  • DETERMINATION OF HUB PARTICIPATION A firm must be an eligible HUB and perform a professional or technical function relating to the project. Proof of payment, such as copies of canceled checks, properly identifying the Department’s contract number or project number may be required to substantiate the payment, as deemed necessary by the Department. A HUB subprovider, with prior written approval from the Department, may subcontract 70% of a contract as long as the DocuSign Envelope ID: 1FDB1C48-24B1-4C40-8A33-17263E465FE2 HUB subprovider performs a commercially useful function. All subcontracts shall include the provisions required in the subcontract and shall be approved as to form, in writing, by the Department prior to work being performed under the subcontract. A HUB performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for a distinct element of the work of a contract; and actually manages, supervises, and controls the materials, equipment, employees, and all other business obligations attendant to the satisfactory completion of contracted work. If the subcontractor uses an employee leasing firm for the purpose of providing salary and benefit administration, the employees must in all other respects be supervised and perform on the job as if they were employees of the subcontractor.
