Community Health Surveillance System (SIVICO)
The Community Health Surveillance System (SIVICO) is a strategy for monitoring local health through the participation and direct collaboration of communities. Neighbors and members of the community, especially those trained as community health agents, play an active role in informing, organizing and self-monitoring families to follow up and monitor their health and rapidly identify priorities needing attention, as well as to promote development and food security. Thanks to community collaboration, health centers in rural and at risk areas can greatly improve the provision of basic care and services. In this way, the economic, health and nutrition aspects are defined from the perspective of the social actors, which helps to identify the families that need attention and priority intervention.
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?
