Es un proceso que nace en el año 2008, del seno de la Municipalidad de Rafaela, a través de la Secretaría de Gestión y Participación como órgano técnico, y tiene como órgano ejecutor al Consejo Consultivo Social, que es un órgano integrado por las distintas instituciones de la ciudad. La primera etapa fue la de recolección de información y diagnóstico de las problemáticas presentes y futuras. Con aquella documentación se establecieron 5 ejes de acción, desde los cuales se realizaron diversos talleres ciudadanos, conferencias, mesas de trabajo, entre otras actividades, junto a instituciones de la sociedad civil, funcionarios, facilitadores y ciudadanía en general. Luego de las actividades se realizaron conclusiones que se registran en informes. En cada eje de acción se realizó un informe que permite observar cuáles son las problemáticas presentes a trabajar, los lineamientos a futuro, y una serie de recomendaciones. 
Desde el año 2010 la Agenda comienza a funcionar y crear outputs a través de diversas actividades, obras y proyectos correspondientes a los ejes y lineamientos trazados durante la etapa de elaboración.
