📋 Tender Overview
Within the framework of the implementation process of the Social Control Mentors program of the Comptrollers Office, a team made up of two senior citizens carried out the first citizen surveillance action in the district of Campo Verde. This measure was aimed at verifying compliance with the recommendations contained in the Control Visit report No. 007-2024-OCI/0477-SVC, which identified that four video surveillance cameras were not working in the District Municipality of Campo Verde.
During the intervention, the mentors accompanied by auditors from the Comptrollers Office met with officials to request documentation related to citizen surveillance and to verify on site whether previously reported adverse situations had been corrected. In addition, they signed the citizen act containing the entitys commitments, which would be formalized through a new communication addressed to the head of the entity. The Mentors of Social Control volunteer program is aimed at residents over 60 years of age who, with their experience and knowledge, will contribute to social control by monitoring and implementing the recommendations derived from the control reports. In the Ucayali region, 22 older adults were incorporated as part of this program, after completing and approving the call process.
Citizen Surveillance Workshop
It is important to note that, before the visit to the aforementioned municipality, the members of the Mentors of Social Control program, from various provinces in the region, participated in a workshop entitled Citizen Surveillance, which included the participation of the regional manager of Control of Ucayali, Julio Alejandro Aliaga Silva, and national and regional specialists in Citizen Participation and Social Control.
In this workshop, the volunteer seniors strengthened their skills in government control, citizen oversight, and strategies to strengthen citizen participation, for which they received a certificate of incorporation as Social Control Mentors of the Comptrollers Office
