Zero Discretion Agreements
The Zero Discretion Agreements are agreements signed by municipalities, civil society organizations and Poder Ciudadano, a civil society organization that promotes a program with the same name in various municipalities in the country. Since the signing of the agreements, the public representatives are committed to carrying out policies of transparency and citizen participation incorporating certain mechanisms according to the problems of each city. In Córdoba, Morón and Rosario these agreements were signed with the municipal authorities. Poder Ciudadano then also monitored the degree of compliance with each of the measures envisaged, making public the result according to a ranking of: non-compliance, partial compliance or total compliance.
