VIH INFOgt Hackathon
The HIV INFOgt Hackathon was organized by HIVOS Guatemala, the Guatemala Valley University, and the TEC Association with the objective of promoting access to information and transparency regarding HIV facts and figures. Prior to the hackathon, two workshops were implemented to sensitize participants about the current HIV situation in the country. Twenty-five university students participated in this initiative and designed apps to facilitate the reading of data. The winning team received a three-month contract to implement their project.

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?
