Citizen Watch Center of Mining Conflicts in Peru
The Watch Center for Mining Conflicts in Peru is a citizen observatory dedicated to the investigation, discussion and dissemination of information regarding environmental conflicts around mining activities. Since 2007, they have been working on the initiative of three civil society organizations, publishing semiannual reports and progress on the situation of these conflicts and evaluating the role of the State, civil society and the private sector. In this way, they aim to fill an information gap by presenting communities and the media with unbiased and documented views of the recurring mining conflicts in some regions of the country.

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?
