Community Health Policy Monitoring
The "Community Health Policy Monitoring" was implemented in Guatemala in 20 municipalities by the Center for Studies on Equality and Governance in Health Systems. It was carried out with the aim of empowering the citizens, in particular the indigenous groups, providing them the possibility to evaluate the local health systems. The participatory evaluations are carried out by comparing the services received with the national standards. The results are presented to the Municipal Development Councils, who then define an action plan and a second monitoring phase that includes interviews, campaigns and surveys.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
