#HowCanIHelpORG
#HowCanIHelpORG is a collaborative platform driven by civil society in the Province of Pichincha in the context of the crisis caused by Covid-19. The objective of this initiative is to create citizen collaboration networks to respond to the needs arising from the pandemic. Through the website or the app, citizens can register as volunteers or help seekers. With the data collected, a map is generated that allows detecting the nearest donor or aid seeker within a radius of 2km. Donors can collaborate in the delivery or purchase of food, medicines and hygiene kits, as well as offer medical and psychological assistance if they are able to do so. All services offered are voluntary and free of charge. In addition, users can also report cases of people in need who for whatever reason do not have access to the Internet or do not know how to use technology, such as the elderly.
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?
