Public Social Accountability Process in Colombia

Generally, Social Accountability is a process of constructive engagement between citizens and government to check the conduct and performance of public officials, politicians, and service providers as they use public resources to deliver services, improve community welfare, and protect people’s rights.

In the specific context of Colombia, Public Social Accountability is the public process of understanding the impact and progress of the “Value Offer” of NGOs in Colombia. It is a voluntary, independent, and transparent process. The process also let’s NGOs build trust, credibility and public opinion about the contributions, achievement, and impacts of the civil society sector.
