Mutual Support Mérida
Mutual Support Mérida is an initiative promoted by a group of citizens that aims to connect volunteers with applicants for aid, as well as to manage different types of support for disadvantaged social groups which have been harshly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through an online platform, the initiative allows citizens to register as volunteers, aid applicants, or donors to promote cooperation and collaboration among citizens. People in need can apply for in-kind, psychological, or financial support.
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?
