Corporación Transparencia por Colombia is the national chapter of Transparency International. It was born in 1998 as a response of the Colombian civil society to a complex political scenario, due to the incidence of corruption in public institutions and the weakening of democracy. Since then, he has led civil society in the fight against corruption and for transparency, in the public and private spheres, to promote active citizenship, strengthen institutions and consolidate our democracy. From the programmatic line of Initiatives with Civil Society, in which we work on transparency issues in Extractive Industries, we encourage more and more informed and active citizens who, through social control, have an impact on the protection of the public sector and the social sanction of corruption.
