Colombia Mid-Term Progress Report 2015-2017

En 2017, el Mecanismo de Revisión Independiente (MRI) publicó el informe de avances que cubre el desarrollo y el primer año de implementación del segundo plan de acción de Colombia.

El investigador del MRI en Colombia, Jose Hernandez Bonivento, resume los hallazgos del informe así:

“Colombia creó un plan de acción en cercana colaboración con la sociedad civil. Incluye cinco compromisos estelares en lo referente al acceso a servicios públicos para personas con discapacidad, acceso a la justicia, racionalización de trámites, transparencia y rendición de cuentas en el Consejo de Estado y memoria histórica del conflicto armado. El segundo año de implementación y el desarrollo del siguiente plan se enmarcan en un escenario de posconflicto. Los esfuerzos en gobierno abierto pueden afianzarse con la coordinación de lo nacional y subnacional, para promover el diálogo y participación en este contexto.”
