Chileleaks

Chileleaks is a platform developed by the foundation Smart Citizenship (Span. Ciudadanía Inteligente), which allows citizens to anonymously report cases of bribery and corruption in the Chilean public administration. The platform does not require personal data for reporting. In order to file a complaint, citizens are required to send a description of what happened and who was involved, as well as to attach evidence of the case or indicate where it can be located. After making a complaint, citizens obtain a complaint code and must select which media agency they would like to investigate the case. The complaint is then sent to the media outlet for it to begin the investigation. If the selected media decides not to conduct an investigation, the individual who filed the complaint is notified and may select another media outlet.

?

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?
