Resumen:
The objective of the research is to explain the development and
emergence of a series of initiatives promoted by the civil society
around a policy of social accountability. And analyze the process of
democratic transformation initiatives to increase citizen control over
rulers and strengthen the defense of public interests. When analyzing
citizens observatories as an option to encourage citizen control, the
approach recognizes collective action as a factor contributing to the
strengthening of social accountability. The study of citizen
observatories allows us to recognize the factors that favor the
performance of the mechanisms of social control, as their interactive
processes and performance are crucial to control governments and public
authorities to prevent abuse of power and require greater access to
information. Hence the importance of the creation of a Citizens
Observatory Network as possible alternatives to promote the cooperation
of a number of players with their resources and capabilities to build a
structure of effective accountability.
