Anticorruption Participatory Initiative
The Anti-Corruption Participation Initiative (IPAC) was launched by the Dominican Government in 2010 with the objective of creating an open government strategy focused on strengthening transparency and combatting corruption. The Central Organizing Committee of IPAC was composed of representatives of the National Government, civil society and the private sector along with international donors such as the World Bank and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The initiative consisted of several political meetings with representatives of civil society, government and industry grouped around ten roundtables that were organized thematically (Public Tenders, Public Services, Information Management, Infrastructure, Health, Education, Energy, Water and Public control bodies). These meetings produced 30 recommendations for the reduction of corruption and the promotion of a more transparent government in their respective fields. The IPAC consisted of various policy meetings with representatives of civil society, government and the industry clustered around ten round tables organised thematically (public procurement, public service, information management, infrastructure, health, education, energy, water, public supervisory bodies). Those meetings produced 30 recommendations for the reduction of corruption and creation of a more transparent government in their respective fields.
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?
