Gestión del conocimiento

This project is aimed at producing practical, results-oriented mechanisms within Ecuador to better fight corruption and to better promote transparency. To accomplish this, the project will implement a series of targeted activities, among them being (1) combined workshops for public officials and members of civil society (aimed at bringing about concrete solutions on transparency and public participation in local government spending), (2) broad-based media campaigns encouraging citizens to demand higher ethical standards from their public officials, as well as encouraging citizens to report acts of corruption, (3) the development (and insertion into the public school system) of modules on ethics, good governance and democracy. These activities are the product of specific requests by key public officials and members of civil society to take steps to measurably reduce levels of corruption and strengthen transparency in a country in which the democratic process is constantly under threat.
