University Observatory on Food and Nutritional Security (OBSAN)
The University Observatory on Food and Nutrition Security (OBSAN) was implemented by the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) with the objective of generating data and knowledge that can be used to guide sound decision making regarding policies and programs focused on food and nutrition security. This initiative promotes the creation of spaces and forums to articulate inter-institutional actors to discuss strategies to ensure nutritional security in Honduras. Through the integration of information in studies, reports, indicators and public policy proposals, the observatory seeks to influence the creation of food policies.
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?
