Nicaraguan Human Rights Observatory
The Nicaragua Human Rights Observatory is a web platform launched in 2018 as a result of the demonstrations and the subsequent police repression and human rights violations that took place during that year. The website tracks the number of days of protest and repression, and keeps an account of the number and identity of political prisoners. It also has an anonymous complaint form, and presents reports and data on the current situation.
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?
