¿Cómo aumentar la participación ciudadana en los procesos de rendición de cuentas en los municipios de Guarne y El Santuario - Antioquia?

Abstract

This document addresses the problem of low citizen participation in public meetings regarding the use of public funds for The Municipalities of Guarne and El Santuario, located in Oriente Antioqueño. It documents the current state of these meetings (low participation) and proposes alternate solutions based on feedback from semi-structured interviews with the three main actors of these two localities: (1) representatives of civil society, (2) members of municipal cabinets and (3) councilors. In this sense, this work aims to better understand the issues and propose strategies to adequately intervene in them, seeking to increase citizen participation in these public meetings which could be used in other similar municipalities.
