La Nación / Seprelad sugiere avanzar con ley de transparencia de las oenegés

Seprelad urges the Senate to approve a transparency law for non-profit organizations in Paraguay, arguing that the current lack of regulation creates critical vulnerabilities. This legislation aims to prevent these entities from being used for money laundering, political financing, or illicit activities, aligning the country with international standards against financial crime. The report highlights that many organizations lack adequate internal controls, such as donor registration and fund usage tracking, which facilitates their manipulation. Cases have been identified where multilateral and state funds have served as covert vehicles for particular political interests, demonstrating that financial opacity enables misappropriation and the use of these NGOs as tools for pressure or corruption. This article is relevant to open data because it underscores the need for public access to financial information about third parties handling sensitive public or private resources. Transparency not only ensures democratic integrity but also empowers civil society to audit the origin and destination of funds, fulfilling essential principles of open government and accountability.
