Participatory Voices - Citizen Monitoring Initiative of Health Services Quality
"Participatory Voices - Citizen Monitoring Initiative of Health Services Quality" is a project promoted by the Health Forum (Citizen Initiative) in coordination with CARE Peru and with several communities and women's organizations in the Puno region - later also in Cusco, Huancavelica and Huánuco - with the goal of strengthening and defending health rights and to monitor the performance and quality of local clinics. It was carried out through a series of training, technical assistance, strengthening and observation activities, both with health authorities and providers and with community agents, with a particular focus on neonatal health and continuity of maternal, neonatal and child care.
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?
