Community Mediation
The Community Mediation programs seek the resolution of conflicts based on mechanisms of citizen participation, which will strengthen cooperation and social networks among members of the community. The program is voluntary, and starting from the role of the mediator, a process is initiated that solves the problems together. It is intended to respect the idiosyncrasy of each community, their confidentiality and their contribution. The Program is carried out in different locations in Argentina, in various units and functions.
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?
