What is the Commitment? Provide relevant information on the control processes of the CGR and how to influence public policies, training, and empowering citizens to demand better quality in accountability of public institutions, create channels that encourage citizen participation and above all in citizen control, through: 1) Develop a methodology to incorporate citizens in the processes of the General Audit Plan. 2) Citizen training in citizen control

How will you contribute to solving the problem? More citizen participation, more transparent and less discretionary processes. Quality citizen participation with empowered citizens with relevant input into the objectives, activities, processes, expenditures, and revenues of public institutions. Constant promotion of citizen participation in important institutional processes and objectives. Accountability for the management of public resources in a transparent manner.
