CITIVIVA
CITIVIVA is an online platform and app driven by a private initiative which is designed to bring citizens together to debate online and thus empower them to organize around issues of common interest. It must also connect citizens in real time with public services and municipal governments and thus increase the efficiency and image of public services and municipal government. That connection could also be established with companies. CITIVIVA wants its program to be established in several countries of the world, but chose Montevideo as a test city. During 2015 a test was carried out with 100 people from Montevideo and was also tested with a group of customer service officers at the City Hall in Montevideo. In July it was launched for all the public in Montevideo. The City Hall supports it as an initiative within its Open Government program, as a form of citizen control over management with a participatory approach that involves engagement and allows the entry and follow up of claims.
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?
