Defensoria del Pueblo - Bolivia

Published purpose

This project aims to strengthen public sector democratic governance in Bolivia. To achieve this, the project works mainly with four public institutions, namely the National Ombudsperson's Office (Defensor del Pueblo), the National Institute of Statistics, the Auditor General's Office, and the National Electoral Court. These institutions are all strategic national-level public institutions that play a key role in the transparent and effective exercise of democratic governance in Bolivia. They have all demonstrated a strong management capacity and their activities are closely aligned with CIDA's priorities in Bolivia. In parallel, the project also provides short-term funding on a responsive basis to support and encourage good governance efforts led by other Bolivian public institutions.
