Participatory Public Accounts
Participatory Public Accounts are processes of citizen dialogue, framed within Law 20.500 of Citizen Participation. They aim to increase the accountability of public institutions before representatives of the civil society and citizens in general. In addition to face-to-face dialogues, these processes include a period of time for the participation of citizens through a website. After entering, citizens can send their comments and opinions in digital form. At the end of the accountability process, the authority of the service responds to the set of considerations shared by citizens through a document that is available on the same site and is sent to the user´s email. In 2016, Chile registered 27 Public Accounts.
