My Medellín
My Medellín is a digital platform created in 2013 by an innovation corporation of Medellín?s city government, so that citizens, both from there and elsewhere, can offer ideas and proposals to help prioritize the problems with the city. The local government periodically publishes on the platform a problem or theme of the city which is in need of ideas from the citizens for its successful solution. The problem or theme remains open for a while, during which anyone who wants to participate can send in their ideas and proposals. Anyone can vote, comment and share the ideas of others, thus gaining points on the platform. The authors and the most voted proposals are publicly recognized, and the final ideas are taken into account by those in charge of running the city's projects.
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?
