Techo Brazil
The "Techo" initiative arrived in Brazil in 2006, while expanding throughout the Latin American region. The main objective of this project is the community development in the precarious settlements of the country, the promotion of social action and the denunciation of the social exclusion of vulnerable populations. The project is carried out in three phases: the first consists of a ground evaluation of the area; the second, 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. Within the framework of this methodology, Techo Brasil has built emergency housing and permanent development projects in 100 communities in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Paraná.
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?
