San Isidro Civic Forum
The San Isidro Civic Forum is a space for open and voluntary participation, which seeks to promote and strengthen local consideration to influence public policies that affect residents. From this space, citizen training programs, access to information and transparency, debate and consensus of proposals and management control are carried out. Thanks to the participation of volunteers, mainly residents of the locality, several campaigns were carried out for monitoring, information, control and transparency regarding some specific policies and in the occasion of local elections.
