Observatory of Violence
The Observatory of Violence is an initiative of civil society developed in the department of Matagalpa. It was carried out with the aim of responding to the high levels of gender violence in the region. The observatory, in addition to statistical and comparative reports on this subject - using data from other civil society organizations, the Institute of Legal Medicine and the Public Prosecutor's Office - also organizes working groups dealing with issues such as the Comprehensive Law against Violence. In turn, it tracks cases of femicide.

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?
