Youth for the Future
Youth for the Future is a project started in 1992 in the city of Ambato with the purpose of providing support to children and adolescents at risk. In 2016, the project had a house that received adolescent women aged 12 to 17 years, who were victims of abuse, sexual abuse and trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation. Another line of work of the project is given through comprehensive care to adolescents, youth and families with illicit drug use problems. This project is supported by the European Union and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. From both projects, the specific objectives are to guarantee the reception and permanent support to the target population and to consolidate their family circles. In 2011, the project welcomed 26 children and adolescents, while in 2014 they worked with 60 people.

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?
