School of Citizen Oversight
The School of Citizen Oversight is an educational project to train community leaders as Citizen Overseers, as a timely contribution to the effective implementation of the Decentralization Law. The project is funded by the British Embassy in Panama and has technical support from the National Authority for Transparency and Access to Information (Span. ANTAI) and the General Comptroller of the Republic; it is implemented by MOVIN, a non-profit social organization. The project was implemented for the first time from October-December 2016 in Panama, San Miguelito, San Carlos, Las Tablas, Pedasi and David. It hopes to train more than 100 community leaders in order to contribute to the success and transparency of public management, by building skills and capacities in innovative projects and social infrastructure.
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?
