Organizaciones sociales respaldan y plantean observaciones al proyecto de Ley de Transparencia Social

The proposed Organic Law on Social Transparency aims to close critical loopholes in public procurement by requiring the disclosure of beneficial ownership for civil society organizations. This shift addresses situations in which nonprofits receive substantial public funding without public accountability for their leadership or financial flows, thereby creating risks of corruption and illicit activities. By enhancing visibility, the legislation seeks to protect legitimate entities from being stigmatized by the actions of opaque actors. This legislative initiative is crucial for open data efforts, as it establishes a framework for verifying the integrity of nonprofit partnerships with the government. It highlights the urgent need for accessible, standardized data on the sources and destinations of funds managed by civil society. Such transparency ensures that public resources are used appropriately and enables more effective oversight of social responsibility programs and mobility initiatives funded through these channels. Ultimately, the reform promotes equitable access to international cooperation and public projects while strengthening governance standards. It underscores that open data is not merely about availability, but about enforceable transparency that prevents money laundering and bribery. By mandating clear reporting mechanisms, the law fosters a more trustworthy ecosystem in which civil society’s contributions to public safety and logistics are both accountable and verifiable.
