EVALUATION AREAS Beneficial ownershiptransparency Assetsrecovery Integrity in publicadministration Transparency in electoral campaigns and political parties Fiscal transparency Access toInformation PublicProcurement Open government and open data
Each thematic area was evaluated according to three elements: 1 The legal and institutional framework of each country was evaluated. 2 The relevant data for the evaluated countries and indexes produced by civil society and international organizations were considered. 3 Researchers carried out a qualitative evaluation of the de facto efforts of each country to fight corruption.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION Chile and Honduras do not have the right to access information in their constitutions as a human right. The application of exceptions, the terms that access of information laws consider to respond to the public and the lack of a legal regime that is applicable to all State branches are some of the deficiencies that are reported in the countries evaluated. Another deficiency is lackofprotectionthatthepeoplehavewhentherequestsomeinformation.
PUBLIC PROCUREMENT • Argentina is the only country analyzed in the region that does not have a public procurement law. • The way in which these norms are carried out is the main deficiency; For example the ambiguity of the exceptions and their scope, the lack of transparency in the different stages of the purchase process, the lack of follow-up of the execution of the contracts and the lack of a common regime between the differents State Branches become incentives to corruption.
OPEN GOVERNMENT AND OPEN DATA The countries of the latinamerica region are enthusiastic signers of OGP . But we have big gaps between differents countries, firstable on the way that they build their actions plans but more on the way that they implemented. Ensure a real participation an colaboration is the only way to made OGP a real tool of changes. Chile El Salvador They are acomplish more than 50% oftheircommitmentson OGP actionplans.
INTEGRITY ON PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Just Argentina and Brazil have a propper revolving door regulation. Countries as El Salvador and Honduras have a lack of regulation of conflicts of interest. Assets declarations in most of the countries are weaks and ineficients to prevent conflicts of interest and ilicitenriechment.
TRANSPARENCY ON ELECTORAL CAMPAIGNS AND POLITICAL PARTIES FULL PUBLICITY OF THE FINANCIAL SOURCES AND THE MANDATORY USE OF BANKS ACCOUNTS APEARS AS A MUST THAT THE REGION NEED TO IMPLEMENT ON THE SHORT TIME. Old and weak regulation that produces time by time inestability and lack of trust El Salvador
FISCAL TRANSPARENCY The advances on following area were pushed in reason of the implementation of Access to Information regulations.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP TRANSPARENCY Chile, Efforts have been made to adopt a regulation on the matter, but without a legal hierachy, the regulations which allows to have registers of the effective controllers of the companies, but public access to these registers is not guaranteed. Brasil El Salvador Lackofregulation, butthanksto Access toInformationregulationpeople can havesomeinformationabout beneficial ownership Argentina Costa Rica Honduras Perú Few concrete efforts to legislate on the matter, lack to strengthen the processes of implementation of these policies. Ensure access to information to the registers will assure active oversight by civil society.
