Dialogue Table for Transparent Dialogue and Social Auditing

The Dialogue Table for Transparent Dialogue and Social Auditing was held within the framework of the National Agreement for the Implementation of Social Spending for Poverty Reduction, which held four different dialogue panels. The objective of this initiative was to include civil society and universities in the management and development of mechanisms that would allow free access to information, accountability and transparency of public spending.

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?
