Techo Bolivia

"Techo" came to Bolivia in 2009, while expanding throughout the Latin American region. The main objective of this project is the development of precarious settlements in the country, the promotion of social action and the denunciation of the social exclusion faced by vulnerable populations. The project is carried out in three phases: the first consists in the evaluation of the area; the second in the participatory planning of solutions to different problems (especially related to community infrastructure) that is carried out jointly with volunteers and citizens and is based on the results of the initial diagnosis; and the third phase in the implementation of said agenda.

?

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?
