MIDAMOS
MIDAMOS (lit. Let's measure) is a tool developed by civil society organizations to evaluate the actions of authorities, promote accountability, and create a series of good practices in order to improve public management. The analysis is carried out by locally authorized rating agencies, and is based on indicators organized into five categories: finances, administrative operations, citizenship services, participation, and legislative management. These form the basis of the performance analysis for the 17 departments of the country and help to construct visual aids for comparison. Moreover, some indicators are also used by MIDAMOS to analyze Local Health Councils as well as some non-governmental organizations.
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?
