ControlaTuGobierno, A.C.

ControlaTuGobierno has been responding to the needs of organized groups for more than 15 years using tools for social control of government action. In 2013, they were legally constituted as a civil organization and developed their social audit methodology that combines various mechanisms of citizen control of public management, aimed at promoting informed, viable, and independent participation in decision making. They also strengthen the capacity and agency in the solution of public problems of organized groups dedicated to the fight against corruption, accountability, or the defense of territory and common goods under the approaches of human rights, gender, intersectionality, intercultural, and community. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)

Controla Tu Gobierno partners with local watershed associations and women's groups to monitor the government’s management of water resources and advocate for equitable access to clean water. Controla Tu Gobierno will continue to monitor implementation of clean water treatment in Mexico state. It will also expand a new program exploring innovative citizen participation mechanisms for women's groups. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)
