Yesterday, the Anti-Corruption Secretariat presented the General Report of Results of the Social Comptroller’s Office 2024, a document that offers a balance of citizen surveillance over the exercise of more than 134 billion pesos allocated to social programs of the government of Mexico during said fiscal year.
According to the report, 144,042 Social Comptroller committees were formed, made up of 460,842 beneficiaries, of which 72 percent were women. These committees participated in supervising the fulfillment of goals and the correct application of public resources in 163 social programs of different federal agencies and entities.
The secretariat explained that the results are based on 112,661 reports registered by the committees in the Social Comptroller Information System (SICS). According to these reports, 96 percent of the participants received guidance on the operation of the mechanism, 92 percent considered the information provided to be clear, and 90 percent indicated that the Social Comptroller’s Office strengthens citizen participation.
As part of an inclusion strategy, and in coordination with the National Institute of Indigenous Peoples (INPI), the format of the Social Comptroller Committee Report was translated into 19 indigenous languages, which allowed expanding the participation of communities historically excluded from the monitoring and surveillance of social programs.
The report also includes the opinion of the public institutions that executed this mechanism. In this sense, 87 percent of the agencies and entities of the federal public administration agreed that the Social Comptroller’s Office promotes transparency and constitutes a relevant instrument for the prevention of corruption.
