Participatory Planning of the General Audit of the Nation
The General Audit of the Nation initiated a space for Participatory Planning in order to approach the citizenry, strengthen the monitoring system and enhance its results. For this planning, consultations are carried out with organizations and with the public, which allow proposals to be included in the Annual Audit Plan. In addition, the space allows the channeling of different social demands and better fulfillment of its transparency objectives in public information and obligation to report on acts of government. In order to channel the proposals, civil society organizations are invited annually to public hearings and informative meetings where the collaboration procedure is explained. Then there are deadlines in which they must raise their proposals, which are processed and evaluated by the technical teams of the General Audit of the Nation. There is a second informational instance where these teams communicate to the participating organizations which proposals were selected and which were included in the Operational Plan for the following year.
