Working Table for Humanitarian Assistance
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the national government of Costa Rica set up the working table for humanitarian support with the private sector and civil society organizations. More than 300 businesses and civil society organizations have joined the initiative to support those affected by the pandemic. The working table seeks to be a coordination mechanism for all these actions by creating a registration platform for the coordination of offers for the emergency. Through the platform, an organization interested in supporting will be contacted to establish the specific terms and operational details of the campaign or donation and the control and accountability mechanisms.

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?
