ABSTRACT
Smarter Crowdsourcing is a tech-based approach for a rapid, global consultation process to find implementable solutions to complex public problems like corruption, infectious diseases, or disaster management. In this case study we analyze the Smarter Crowdsourcing process deployed by the Governance Lab and the governments of seven countries from Latin America and the Caribbean in response to the COVID-19 pandemic with a view to understand its key components and how it differs from the traditional open call for expertise.
