Contract Book
Contract Book is a digital platform for citizen audit and consultation designed to easily consult and access information on 1.5 million contracts awarded to companies by the Mexican government. The platform was launched by Mexican civic hackers. In Contract Book you can consult information on amounts granted and historical data, from 2002 to 2015, on these supplier companies. The objective is to achieve better contracts and greater accountability in government through the exercise of citizen audit and collaborative research.
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?
