Life Instinct Campaign
The Life Instinct campaign is an organized civil society initiative of the seven most violent countries in Latin America: Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Venezuela. The objective of this alliance is to reduce, in ten years, the number of homicides that occur in the region - thus saving 365,000 lives each year and preventing the problem from increasing. The campaign is developed within the framework of the Sustainable Development Objectives and the Bogotá Protocol, through the creation, dissemination and implementation of public policies and concrete measures that seek to reduce the current rate of killings; the mobilization of civil society; and the dissemination of data and information. The actions of this campaign are based on citizen participation, data analysis, access to justice, and rejection of hard-hitting policies and the militarization of public security.
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?
