ACCOUNTABILITY
's 2025 Public Accountability Hearing
Accountability is enshrined in the Political Constitution of Colombia with the aim of enabling citizens to oversee the exercise of executive power; Thus, Law 489 of 1998 established that all entities and agencies of the public administration are required to conduct their operations in accordance with the principles of participatory democracy and the democratization of public administration; to this end, these organizations must be accountable to the public. Likewise, through CONPES Resolution 3654 of 2010, “which establishes the Accountability Policy”; Law 1712 of 2014, “which enacts the Law on Transparency and the Right of Access to National Public Information and sets forth other provisions”; and the Unified Accountability Manual of the Administrative Department of Public Service, the commitment to carry out this activity—which promotes the principles of transparency and citizen participation—is reaffirmed.
