Bolivia's Social Debt Watch
Bolivia's Social Debt Watch, a joint project of the Catholic University of San Pablo and the Jubilee Foundation, monitors human rights compliance in the country. The Observatory understands that there is a collective obligation to build social, economic and political conditions for life and human coexistence in supportive, inclusive, equitable and environmentally sustainable environments, and when this obligation is not fulfilled, there is social debt. Based on indicators and reflections, it seeks to inform public debate and serve as an input to government, the church and civil society in the pursuit of fulfilling this debt.
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?
