U-Report
U-Report is an initiative for social participation directed to adolescents and young people based on a form of consultations and surveys on various topics related to the reality of adolescents and young people. Users participate using social networks and SMS. U-Report was developed by Kenya's UNICEF innovation office, and in Brazil it operates in partnership with the National Youth Secretariat. The objective of the initiative is to produce statistical data to be delivered to policy makers related to various interests of youth and adolescents.
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?
