National Violence Observatory
The National Violence Observatory is an initiative of the University Institute for Democracy, Peace and Security (IUDPAS) and aims to generate and systematize data on homicides in Honduras in order to produce publications that guide authorities in the design of projects and public policies. The Observatory produces reports on its main findings and also publishes statistical data on its website. In addition, the Observatory has a participatory mechanism that allows citizens to report crimes through a web portal. With the information gathered from the reports, the Observatory prepares a map of crimes in Honduras.
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?
