The National Citizens' Commission for the Fight against Corruption is a legal entity created in 2011, so that civil society can contribute to and follow up on the policies, programs and actions formulated and implemented by the State and National Government for the prevention, control and punishment of corruption. The Commission is composed of one representative from each of the following sectors: economic unions, anti-corruption NGOs, trade union organizations, universities, media, citizen watchdogs, the National Planning Council and the Colombian Confederation of Religious Freedom, Conscience and Worship. The President of the Republic appoints these representatives every four years from a list sent by each sector. Annually, the Commission presents a report with all its findings, comments and suggestions, so that they can be taken into account by the National Government in its actions and anti-corruption strategy. Likewise, it shows its follow-up to the measures implemented by the Government in accordance with what is established by the country's anti-corruption law.
