Corruptour
The Corruptour is a unique concept designed to raise awareness of the high levels of government corruption in two cities: Monterrey and Mexico City. The strategy is to take citizens on a ride to landmarks of these cities representing the primary scandals of recent years; locally, in the case of Monterrey, and nationally for Mexico City. The narrative of the tour includes the names of government officials involved, amounts of bribes and extortion, and a direct call to action by citizens to eradicate and punish all forms of corruption. This project aims to inform and anger the citizens and better understand the relationship of government corruption to the damage caused to their cities. In addition, it seeks to denounce the urgency of attacking this problem and keeping the issue on the national public agenda.
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?
