Speak Up Castañeda
Speak Up Castañeda was a citizen initiative, promoted by the civil association Proética in 2017, which managed to collect more than 25 thousand signatures, enough to make the mayor of Lima, Luis Castañeda, accountable for his municipal management. The petition was composed of 141 questions related to services and policies implemented during his administration. This initiative made use, for the first time, of the accountability demand mechanism of the Law of Citizen Participation and Control Rights, giving the mayor a period of 60 days to answer. On April 14, 2018, the Municipality of Lima delivered the answers to the National Jury of Elections, contained in a 100 pages report.

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?
