Ñañomoir?

The Ñañomoirú Project exercises social auditing activities of the Tekoporã program, which facilitates monetary transfer to the poor under the auspices of the state (co-responsibility). The purpose is to connect the beneficiaries with the public institutions that provide them with services; specifically the Secretariat of Social Action (in charge of the Tekoporã program), the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, as well as with local, departmental and national authorities. Through two social auditing tools (Citizen Qualification Pad and Community Report), the project seeks to incorporate the direct voice of beneficiaries of the Tekoporã program to improve their management and promote inter-institutional agreements. While the Citizen Qualification Pad collects mainly quantitative information on the quality of the goods and services of the state, the Community Report involves meetings between community members and service providers. The project retrieves information not only on the evaluation of the services, but also by providing a space in which proposals can be debated and priorities identified. In addition, the project seeks to promote citizen participation in monitoring compliance with plans at the local level through citizen round tables and monitoring committees. The pilot project started in 2015 and is scheduled to run for five years, initially designed to include five municipalities from different departments of the country.
