Citizen Action Project for Democratic Strengthening in the Transition of Government

The "Citizen Action Project for Democratic Strengthening in the Transition of Government" is a project of the Federation of Non-Governmental Organizations for the Development of Honduras (FOPRIDEH) with the support of the IMPACTOS Program that aims to advance the development of capacities in advocacy within Civil Society Organizations (CSOs); as well as to strengthen the institutional framework of transparency and anti-corruption policies of public officials during the transition process. The project has a theoretical phase that focuses on training CSOs and a second practical part, which seeks to build an agenda of transparency and the reduction of corruption, monitor political forums and develop advocacy activities at the governmental level. As part of this initiative, a presidential Forum on Transparency and Anti-Corruption was held, which was monitored by civil society with positive results.

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?
