Monitoring
Monitoring (Span. Monitoreando) was an initiative of Participación Ciudadana, the Dominican chapter of Transparency International. It consisted of deliberative tables, in which citizens and local authorities were invited to discuss the situation of the municipality in terms of transparency and access to public information, and to propose possible solutions to the problems identified. In addition to the deliberative tables, a public awareness campaign was carried out, which sought, by means of a series of instructive materials, to train citizens so they could demand greater transparency in the use of public resources by local authorities, and have information on the processes and tools to supervise and control the procurement and contracting processes for the execution of municipal public works.
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?
