International Citizen Advocacy Lab
The International Citizen Advocacy Laboratory is a programme developed by civil society associations, supported by Fondo Chile, which seeks to empower young Panamanians. The project has had two editions, in which young people from all over the country meet in Panama City with the aim of designing and implementing projects to solve issues related to education policy in Panama, addressing topics such as sex education, school dropout rates and environmental protection. Before formulating the projects, the participants take part in a training session. The projects are given funding to enable their implementation.

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?
