Sexual and Reproductive Health Project
The Sexual and Reproductive Health Project is an initiative started in 2006 by the French-Ecuadorian foundation Prevensud. The initiative is carried out through local promoters, who work with people between the ages of 9 and 60, with an emphasis on adolescents and young people, in order to contribute to the precise knowledge of Reproductive Health, prevention of early or unwanted, STIs and HIV-AIDS. The project also aims to generate empowerment for both men and women so that they can live a healthy and fulfilling sex life, granting that their rights are enforceable and offering broader information. Among the activities included in the initiative are: free talks aimed at urban and rural popular sectors, educating and training of local and foreign promoters in Sexual and Reproductive Health, sponsored distribution of male and female condoms, etc. By 2017, the project was covered nationwide and in several Ecuadorian provinces along the coast, the Orient and the Sierra. The foundation that drives the initiative has approximately 15 participants, including partners, members and interns.

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?
