Reproductive Health Observatory of Guatemala
The Reproductive Health Observatory of Guatemala is an institution focused on monitoring the progress and results of reproductive health policies implemented by the government. This initiative was implemented through a joint effort between the National Congress and various university faculties and medical associations in the country. Through data collection, and with the construction and constant monitoring of health indicators, the Observatory creates relevant information regarding the situation of women and girls, and the overall access to reproductive and sexual health. Based on its findings, the Observatory detects opportunity areas and issues reports, measures and recommendations to be considered by the authorities. Additionally, the initiative also implements national campaigns to promote a comprehensive reproductive and sexual health, healthy pregnancies, and to prevent sexual violence against boys, girls and teenagers.
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?
