Hackathon Social Security BPS 2017
The BPS Social Security Hackathon was an initiative of Banco de Previsión Social and the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technology, which was sponsored by the private sector. In the hackathon, which took place in Montevideo, citizens were invited to develop solutions to the following challenges: 1. Bringing Banco de Previsión Social closer to the people (for example, through simplified procedures); 2. Assisting the most vulnerable population (for example, the elderly and disabled people); 3. Increasing transparency (so that citizens can identify the destination and benefits of their contributions to society); 4.Reducing informal work and 5. Contributing to the prevention of diseases. A jury selected and awarded prizes to four projects developed during the hackathon.

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?
