Inclusive cities Observatory
The Inclusive Cities Observatory is an initiative that serves as a digital space for monitoring, analysis and reflection on local social inclusion policies. Since its foundation in 2017 over sixty case studies on innovative policies for community development have been selected, systemized and presented on the platform. The coded policies have a wide range of themes: access to basic services, gender equality, environmental protection and the eradication of poverty, among others. The initiative was created within the Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights of the United Cities and Local Governments Network and it has been supported the University College of London and the University of Coimbra. For Perú, there is only one coded case: the Urban Agriculture Policy of the district of Villa Maria del Triunfo. The Observatory is available for anyone to consult the information on these innovative policies worldwide.
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?
