Peru Vigilance System
The Peru Vigilance System is a citizen oversight and monitoring experience developed by the Citizen Proposal organization, through a decentralized structure of national and regional teams that carry out a permanent and periodic follow-up of activities according to standardized evaluation, recording and reporting mechanisms. This system has been implemented across four lines of work: extractive industries, concessions and state contracts, agriculture and climate change, and regional and local governments. The system is being implemented since 2003, publishing numerous reports and influencing public and legislative debates.
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?
