Chile municipal civil society council formation

Entities: Calama · Municipality of Calama · Consejo Comunal de Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (COSOCI) · Itamar Paniagua · Eliecer Chamorro

Overview

In July 2026 the San Clemente municipality announced the start of an election to select members for a new Civil Society Council, initiating a local participatory process.

Later that month, the Calama municipality held a formal ceremony to swear in 20 members of its Consejo Comunal de Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (COSOCI) for the 2026‑2030 term. The council, an autonomous advisory body, brings together leaders from territorial, functional and public‑interest organisations to guide the city on economic, social, cultural and territorial development. Mayor Eliecer Chamorro highlighted the volunteers’ unpaid community work, while members emphasized the inclusion of feminist, environmental and cultural groups. The inaugural session also set the agenda to elect a vice‑president and begin work on sustainable development initiatives.
