Community Information System in Primary Health Care (SICAPS)
The Community Information System in Primary Health Care (Sistema de Información Comunitaria en Atención Primaria de Salud; SICAPS) consists of a simplified digital technology for the collection and participatory processing of demographic, epidemiological and socioeconomic information. With the support of the health promoters of Fundación Proyecto Paria (FPP) it is used by communities to develop community health projects, take actions in support of primary health care services in their localities, and manage public services and investments classified as priorities by the communities themselves.

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?
