Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict
The Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict is a civil society organization whose purpose is to protect and promote human rights in Venezuela. Through the constant publication of reports and research, this initiative monitors and documents the situation with respect to human rights, focusing primarily on demonstrations and the situation of human rights defenders. In addition, the observatory keeps a record of the number of protests and demonstrations in the country, with which it develops a conflict radar and uses this data to track the geographical development of the protests through its Geographic Information System of Conflicts (SIGCO).

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?
