Social Audit of school kits and meals
The social auditing tools for school kits and meals have the objective of increasing citizen participation in controlling the quality of these services provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The lack of clear information led to the implementation of two social auditing tools. The first one consists of Community Reports that built on focus groups with parents, students, teachers, managers and other people involved. After deliberation, they report on their assessments regarding the quality, quantity and time of delivery of the snacks and school kits. The second element is to install a data platform based on information sent by the educational community through text messages (SMS). The results will be disseminated not only to the educational community but also to the providers and media companies. The next step is to develop action plans to correct the detected failures.
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?
