Inclusive Cities Observatory
The Inclusive Cities Observatory was created in 2013 by the Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights, which belongs to the international organization United Cities and Local Governments. The aim of this observatory is to analyze and evaluate social inclusion policies, and to highlight successful cases in order to invite other governments to implement similar solutions. The researchers from the Observatory are affiliated to the University College of London and the University of Coimbra. The Dominican Republic is one of the countries overseen by this team.
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?
