One of the pivotal aspects for the strengthening and consolidation of democracy is citizen participation. Therefore, we believe it is necessary to improve democracy and the rule of law through a more informed, reflective and critical citizenry. Hence, our advisory work and technical assistance focuses on the promotion of citizen participation in national and local levels through existing legal mechanisms, project approvals, policies and budgets for the establishment of external controls as a means to seek greater administrative transparency and the strengthening of local democracy through permanent mechanisms of transparency, accountability and social control.
