National Dialogue on HIV and Law
The National Dialogue on HIV and Law is a space intended to facilitate consultation on the progress and obstacles of Costa Rica's policies and response to HIV. This initiative identifies appropriate settings - including laws, law enforcement and access to justice - that promote and protect the rights of populations living with HIV, or who suffer of an increasing risk of infection from police abuses and harassment, as well as discrimination from the side of employees and workers in the health sector. The National Dialogue represent an opportunity for people directly affected by HIV to present evidence on issues that have been silenced by restrictive legal environments.

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?
