Sustainable Development Goals Watch for Citizens

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Watch for Citizens is a study designed in 2018 by the company Citibeats with support of the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB); the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain; the City Hall of Huelva and the City Hall of Andalusia. It compiles during a semester in 2019 Tweets that mention issues related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in order to identify citizen priorities in each SDG area and each Ibero-American country. The Tweets collected are those published by users in 22 capitals of 22 Ibero-American countries. Subsequently, the data is made available to governments and other stakeholders so that it can be used to implement policies aiming to achieve the SDGs.

?

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?
