Rio+
Rio+ was a platform created by the NGO "Benfeitoria" in 2014 to collaboratively prototype innovative solutions for policy problems in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It was constituted by 5 phases: The first one gathered input and ideas by any citizen, while the second one evaluated the implementation of each idea. This followed a third phase of public voting and the most voted ideas would be implemented by Rio de Janeiro's local government. Lastly, there was a award ceremony. Around 700 citizens sent around 1600 ideas. The most commonly addressed issues related to mobility, sustainability and citizenship.
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?
