COVID-19 Public Data Evaluation Initiative
The COVID-19 public data evaluation initiative is a study carried out by the Smart Citizenship Foundation that evaluates government transparency with regards to official data released about the COVID-19. Its purpose is to communicate data related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to evaluate the level of transparency of the general statistics disclosed by Latin American governments, so that the information provided in the study can be used by civil society, government authorities, and scientific communities to fight the pandemic. The data is published on a digital platform, which in turn allows citizens or institutions to send data and collaborate with the initiative.
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?
