Citizen Oversight in Government Procurement
The Citizen Oversight in Government Procurement are pilot programs for the monitoring and follow up of public procurement in 7 different regions, promoted by the Superior Council for Contracting and Acquisitions. They were created as spaces for the supervision of the public on the management of public funds, with the objective of identifying and measuring compliance with the principles established by the State Law for Contracting and Acquisitions. They included professional colleges, non-governmental organizations and citizen associations dedicated to the promotion of transparency and good governance practices.
