Participatory Water Monitoring
Since 2011, the National Authority of Water (ANA) in Peru has periodically implemented the Participatory Water Monitoring Program, making the evaluation of the quality of the water a joint task between national, regional and local authorities along with representatives of the civil society. In concordance with the Law Nº 29338, ANA created the participatory program to create reliable information with respect of water quality, avoid conflicts with industry and communities and to formulate recommendations based on gathered evidence. Since the project started, more than 80 cases of participatory monitoring have been implemented all over the country.
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?
