Green Path Project
The Green Path Project started as a Tourism initiative considering the Sustainability component as the guiding axis of its activities. The project defined clear objectives in activities such as nature conservation, environmental education and the use of natural resources as a source of production of various activities (energy, crafts, entertainment, sports, etc.). Up until 2016 the project has developed innovative processes and integrated diverse stakeholders. It has made alliances with institutions, organizations, groups and individuals involved in tourism conservation projects, thus allowing, little by little, to implement the development and promotion of objectives for sustainability in both rural and urban areas. Artisan fairs and organic products have been organized, from different regions of the country with different genders and age groups represented as well as traditional and local techniques. By 2016 the project had been working for three years in drafting a General Law on Handicrafts, which, apart from defending the cultural heritage and promoting national identity, provided better conditions for artisans. The project also took into account sustainability of the activity and its role in national development. Among the results of the project are specific economic benefits for female entrepreneurs, quantified through an increase in average income and minimum wages, through the selling of crafts and homemade food products, which allows them to add to the household income.

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?
