Reporting on Corruption Querétaro
Reporting on Corruption Querétaro is a mobile app created by the state government of Querétaro. The app seeks to encourage citizen reporting, as users can make acts of corruption known with videos, photos, audios and texts. To file a complaint, anonymously or otherwise, a form must be filled in on which text, audio, photo or video files can be added. When sending the complaint, a folio number and a password are received for the user to follow the process. In less than a month, 12 complaints of possible corruption in the public sector were filed, and the application was downloaded 1200 times.
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?
