Public Challenges
Public Challenges is an initiative that seeks to democratize public spending and generate innovative solutions to public problems. Through announcements that raise different issues to be resolved, individuals and companies are invited to participate in the development of digital solutions for public innovation. From the participants, five finalists are chosen who are given financial support to develop prototypes of their proposals while also taking into account feedback from the government agency requiring the solution. A specialized committee selects the winner who obtains a contract with the unit for the development of the solution.
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?
