Electoral Observation
Electoral Observation is a project of the NGO Foundation for Peace and Democracy (FUNDAMPEM) that sought to establish a proposal from civil society on the subject of electoral transparency in the face of the 2014 Costa Rican elections so that social and academic organizations could be incorporated in the tasks of monitoring and control to contribute to improve the democratic electoral process. This function of comptroller was possible since the Foundation was accredited before the Supreme Court of Elections to be able to carry out this work.
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?
