Recycling Board
The Recycling Board was established by ECOred (an NGO that facilitates dialogue between the private sector and environmental civil society organizations) and Healthy City (a Peruvian NGO working on environmental issues) in 2013 as a multi-sector participatory forum that is open to members of civil society, government and industry to discuss issues related to the recycling sector in the Dominican Republic. The main objective of the working group is to harmonize the work of the organizations involved in the policy cycle as well as to create the most just working conditions. For this approach the inclusion of civil society is central, and its preferences should be taken into account in the deliberations of the working group. The working group is part of a larger initiative of ECOred and Healthy City to promote environmental governance and waste management in the Dominican Republic with a special focus on workers and to support their role in the recycling process.

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?
