Let's Build the Social Innovation Policy

Let's Build the Social Innovation Policy was a process between 2012 and 2013 to design participatory social innovators, civil society, academia, public and private entities, citizenship and government, a public policy of social innovation within the political framework of national science, technology and innovation. In addition, the initiative sought to articulate with the social and environmental policies of the country. Technological channels were used like online surveys, virtual forums and a Wiki that served as editor for the final document of the Public Policy; as well as face-to-face spaces and regional workshops, with the aim of building a local social innovation strategy that contributes to the formulation of national public policy. As a result, 80 initiatives by children and adolescents were chosen and self-implemented by them in the national territory.

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?
