3D mapping of indigenous territories
The 3D mapping of indigenous territories was a project conducted by the Center for the Autonomy and Development of the Indigenous Poeples (CADPI) and the International Land Coalition (ILC) in 2017. The project included the participation of delegates from autonomous indigenous territories and representatives of civil society organizations from Nicaragua. The purpose of this innovation was to complete a first three-dimensional mapping of the indigenous territories of Nicaragua?s North Caribbean Cost autonomous region. Such mapping is a participatory planning tool that can be used in the autonomous governance of the indigenous communities. As part of their aim of contributing to the self-determined development of these populations, the leading organizations sought to strengthen the common knowledge about the territory and enhance collective decision-making processes based on the experience that the land?s inhabitants have.
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?
