The Citizen Network for an Open Government
The Citizen Network for an Open Government (Span. RedC) is a network of individuals, groups and civil society organizations, created in 2013, which has joined efforts to promote the implementation of the principles of Open Government in Costa Rica: public integrity, transparency, accountability and citizen participation. The objective of the Network is to constitute a permanent and sustainable integration platform for the dissemination of information, definition, positioning, implementation and follow-up of the issues of transparency, access to information and anti-corruption of public policies in Costa Rica. The Network has carried out various advocacy activities such as the questioning of political candidates regarding their commitments to open government.

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?
