Interinstitutional Commission on Gender Issues at the International Level
The Interinstitutional Commission on Gender Issues at the International Level was established in June 2004 to prepare the next periodic report of Uruguay to the Committee on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). In 2005, it remained as the body responsible for the preparation, submission and reporting to international committees created by binding instruments signed by Uruguay, such as: the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Inter-American Committee to Prevent, Punish and Eradicate Violence against Women (Convention of Belem do Pará). The Commission operates under the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Institute of Women (INMUJERES). In addition to state representatives from the executive, legislative and judicial branches, it is comprised of various civil society organizations, women's organizations and feminists. In this way, the aim is to ensure citizen participation in the country reporting processes.

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?
