I Want to Help
I Want to Help is an initiative implemented by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI) with the aim of building support networks to link different social actors who require or can provide help. Through an electronic portal, citizens, civil society organizations, and micro businesses can register as applicants for aid or as volunteers and donors. Users can also register requests for help or support initiatives to be seen by other users. By September 2020, the initiative had 261 requests for help and 60 support initiatives.
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?
