Participatory Social Investment Fund (FOPAR)
The Participatory Social Investment Fund (FOPAR) is a national program for transferring resources to civil society organizations that demonstrate experience in the management of food benefits. It works out of a joint process of basic community organization, project formulation and execution of works for the improvement and expansion of food services. Through the Fund, the Social Development Secretariat offers community organizations a series of technical assistance and training activities, based on a multi-stakeholder participatory methodology and aimed at ensuring the inclusion of stakeholders in decision-making and implementation of the program.

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?
