Citizen Oversight
The Citizen Oversight (span. Veedurias Ciudadanas) were participation mechanisms involving independent citizens, who collaborated with the Comptroller General of the Republic to carry out the monitoring of the use of public goods. They aimed to promote citizen participation through teaching the know-how of methods and tools for monitoring public management. In a first attempt, these citizen oversight groups formed and teams carried out different monitoring processes in order to promote a link between citizens and government institutions.
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?
