Working Tables "Let's Protect Condesa"
The We Protect Condesa program is implemented in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. It started in 2009 with the purpose of generating a prototype of a participatory neighborhood security. Citizens, entrepreneurs and authorities collaborate in combating criminal activity and in solving problems that affect this area of the city. Working tables are organized weekly with more than 15 institutions to solve the problems of the area. In total, 219 meetings were held, with more than 40 working groups between neighbors and restaurant owners and more than 20 working groups with citizens and citizens' committees.
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?
