Youth Observatory for Latin America and the Caribbean
The Youth Observatory for Latin America and the Caribbean is an initiative by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean that collects and disseminates data, statistics, policies, good practices and news related to youth issues in the region. The Observatory, founded in 2015, seeks to position itself as a useful tool for researchers, activists, analysts and decision makers in Latin America and the Caribbean. To participate, both individuals and organizations can register on the Observatory's portal and thus share and publish their information on the platform. The observatory has more than 300 registered participants.
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?
