Integrity Pacts in Public Works
The Integrity Pacts in Public Works are a mechanism for monitoring projects of the Ministry of Public Works of El Salvador. They were implemented in 2010 as a response to allegations of corruption and deficiencies in this sector. Private sector companies and the ministry signed agreements of public commitments for transparency and integrity standards, which should be monitored by the non-governmental organization FUNDE, the Transparency International chapter in El Salvador. In these pacts, companies pledged to refrain from any kind of bribery or corrupt practices and offer information during the contest for projects, and to accept sanctions in case of non-compliance.

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?
