Social Citizenship Initiative
The Social Citizenship Initiative is a program of activities aimed at promoting the responsible use of public funds for social development. It develops a monitoring program for public policies and programs in social areas, which consists of the following tools: an advisory service, a citizen complaint box, a transfer and follow-up system, and a citizen reporting service. Through the promotion of these strategies, it seeks to strengthen the idea of independent citizen-monitoring focused on the scale and destination of public funds allocated to social plans of a massive nature.
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?
