Anticorruption Brigades
The Anti-Corruption Brigades, an initiative created in 2015 by the civil association Proética, are meant to monitor and supervise the local public administration. The Brigades seek to mobilize citizens in the fight against local corruption, through the access to public information and the systematic monitoring of public institutions. To this end, several activities are carried out. The brigades inform citizens about the ways they can report corruption and the information portals they can turn to. The brigades periodically review the portals to monitor budgets, works and policies, and request information on tenders, contracts and public works through the model of citizen hearings.
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?
