Women, Rights and Governance in the Northern Border of Ecuador
Women, Rights and Governance in the Northern Border of Ecuador is an initiative carried out by the local chapter of the International CARE Organization between the years 2013 and 2015 with the aim of strengthening the role of civil society in the promotion of human rights and democratic reforms in supporting the Peaceful conciliation of the interests of different groups and in the consolidation of participation and political representation. In particular, the project sought to promote the exercise and restitution of human rights of indigenous women, Afro-descendants and refugees victims of violence and discrimination, taking into account their particular needs and identities and deepening the approach of articulation, coordination and linkage between different stakeholder levels (government, civil society and cooperation) in the Northern Border of Ecuador. The project was funded by the European Union and was carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior, the Defense Front of the Amazon and the Imbabura Solidarity and Human Rights Corporation. About 60 000 refugees, indigenous and Afro-descendant populations were victims of violence and discrimination.

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?
