Bogotá, February 24, 2023
The Mesa welcomed its selection by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) as an organization that contributes to the region’s development.
The Mesa de la Sociedad Civil para la Transparencia en las Industrias Extractivas brings together more than 26 organizations at the national level, with the vision of generating a consolidated and strong civil society movement with a high degree of influence in the public and private sector related to the Extractive Industries in Colombia. With this, it seeks to fulfill its mission to achieve higher levels of transparency, citizen participation, accountability processes and access to public information in the Colombian extractive sector.
For its work, the Mesa has been included in the IDB’s WiConnect platform, which seeks to provide access to grant information, call for proposals, frontier information on the sector, as well as to support the organization by making it visible to donors, other specialists and organizations working in Latin America and the Caribbean. This recognition encourages us to continue working towards transparency and strengthening the participation of civil society from our strategic lines on issues related to EITI, royalties and access to information on environmental issues.
