Social Controllership
Social Controllership is a mechanism through which individual or organized citizens, can exercise control of municipal public management. They are implemented by social groups or an institutional act. The form of its organization depends on members as long as all its members retain the same faculties and powers. Participants collaborate in the capacity of citizen vigilantes for the transparency and effectiveness of state investments. Exercising social controllership is an activity that is exclusively ad-honorem. The Social Controllership Law extends the scope of this mechanism to public management in general and to the private sector. It holds that any social monitoring activity is intended to monitor and ensure that public investment is carried out in a transparent and efficient manner to the exclusive benefit of the interests of society. Thus, it ensures that private sector activities do not affect collective or social interests.
