Lens on Transfers
In the midst of the coronavirus crisis, the civil association Proética launched the platform "Lens on Transfers" (Span. Lupa sobre las Transferencias), a tool to provide citizens more transparency about the funds that the government of Peru is using to combat the pandemic. As a response to the crisis, the federal government has transferred funds through emergency decrees, speeding up the mobilization of resources, but risking a lack of sufficient transparency. Lens on Transfers is an initiative that seeks to reduce this risk by monitoring and disseminating the results of this monitoring. Thanks to the platform, any user can see how much money has been transferred to which institution, for what purpose, and by which decree.

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?
