Observatory of Participation and Social Coexistence
The Observatory of Participation and Social Coexistence is an initiative of the Gumilla Foundation, created as a space for the analysis and monitoring of social participation processes. The monitoring focuses on the actions of the Community Councils and Cooperatives, as well as on the processes of social inclusion for young people, and on educational policies. The observatory publishes periodic reports on cooperatives, communal councils, youth violence and inclusion, democracy assessments from a Latin American perspective. These are based on surveys, research and evaluations.
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?
