Hackathons for the Evaluation of Commitments Compliance
Compliance evaluation hackathons or "data cafes" were events co-organized by DATA Uruguay to follow up on the campaign promises of elected politicians. The first data cafe, under the slogan "From Word to Fact", was carried out in collaboration with UY Check in August 2015, 180 days after the inauguration act of President Tabaré Vazquez for his second term. 18 people participated. The second data cafe, with the same title and again co-organized with UY Check in June 2016, was dedicated to evaluating the campaign promises of the Mayor of Montevideo, Daniel Martínez, one year after taking office. 47 people registered for the event. The third, entitled "Compromisotón" (lit. Commitment-thon), was co-organized with the Open Government Network (span. RGA) in May 2018 to assess compliance with the Open Government Action Plan commitments in view of the co-creation of the 4th National Plan. 9 people registered to participate.

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?
