Informal Recyclers Program / Integral Management of Solid Waste Program
The Informal Recyclers Program is a program for the management of urban waste and recycling, promoted by civil society organizations and supported by the National Business Support Network for Environmental Protection (EcoRED) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The model is a replica of the project called "Integral Management of Solid Waste", which originated in Peru with the Healthy City NGO through which informal recyclers are included, organized and integrated in cooperative structures in the state recycling programs.
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?
