Restoring Mailboxes Initiative
The Mailbox Rescue initiative is organised by the NGO that has the same name (Span. Rescatando Buzones). Its participants are citizens who voluntarily restore, in most cases using their own resources, mailboxes that have been damaged, deteriorated or misused as rubbish dumps. In this way they not only seek to facilitate the work of postmen and improve the urban landscape, but also to promote the recognition of the value of mailboxes as part of the city's heritage.
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?
