Popular Healthcare Agents
Popular Health Agents is an initiative developed by the civil society organizations UNEAfro and Instituto de Referência Negra Peregum. Its purpose is to train citizens, so they can support medical and health staff in monitoring the evolution of the health status of infected patients, distributing health kits and supplies and raising awareness about measures for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Training takes place in presencial meetings as well as by spreading documents with guidelines on the initiative's website.
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?
