Dominican Political Observatory
The Dominican Political Observatory was created in 2010 by the non-profit organization Fundación Global, Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE). The research conducted by the Observatory seeks to influence the political debate, contribute recommendations for decision-makers, and evaluate public policies. 17 social researchers work at the Observatory within 6 research areas: cyber-politics, local government, political parties and electoral systems, legislative power, public policy and civil society.
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?
