Citibeats: Covid-19
The Inter-American Development Bank developed Covid19 Civiclytics tool in order to monitor the public opinion in regard to the coronavirus crisis in Latin America and the Caribbean. The initiative follows the concerns and perceptions expressed online by citizens and groups them in various categories: crisis measures, food security, household and business economy, health systems, cultural impact, remote working, education, mental health, vulnerable population, environment, fake news and citizen initiatives. These perceptions are retrieved using text recognition and geolocation tools from Twitter and other text-based websites. The data is then analyzed and published on the IDB platform where it is available for public and private institutions to take into consideration when making decisions about the pandemic.
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?
