Transparency and Integrity Laboratory
The Transparency and Integrity Laboratory was carried out as part of the collaborative participatory project "LabCívicos", in which organizations of different disciplines and ideologies were connected to define common objectives on a topic (in this case transparency), using new technologies to create spaces of consensus and dialogue. It took place in Guatemala City on August 10 and 11, 2016, and was attended by members of Citizen Network, Transparent Congress, Citizen Action, Integrity Network, Guatemala Visible, Guate Activa, Fundacívica, DOSES, Nomad, Counterpart and the National Civic Movement. The laboratory was carried out in 6 phases: analysis of the social context, agreement of goals, product design, definition of results and communication strategy, and evaluation. On the first day, participants agreed on a joint definition of the problem, and on the second day participants agreed on ways to tackle the problem together.
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?
