Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Colombia
Transparency and integrity within public institutions is essential to effective management and citizen trust in government. From 2011 to 2018, the IDB supported the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) in Colombia to improve transparency in public management and regulatory compliance. The project focused on strengthening the OAG’s preventive system, increasing levels of regulatory compliance, and increasing citizen oversight. The OAG plays a critical role in Colombia’s public control system, with responsibilities that range from monitoring public sector employee conduct to ensuring transparency and access to information.
