Citizen control monitor program and its contribution to the government control of public works

The Citizen Control Monitors Program is a citizen participation mechanism created by the Comptroller General of the Republic in 2018, based on Directive No. 004-2018-CG/DPROCAL, with the aim of establishing a mechanism for citizen oversight, mainly in the control of the execution of public works, within the framework of the Comprehensive Plan for Reconstruction with Changes, as a result of the devastating consequences of the phenomenon "El Niño Costero" of the year 2017. The objective of this article is to determine the Contribution of the Program to Government Control of Works in La Libertad. A systematic review and analysis of Control Services Reports issued as a result of visits made by monitors with Comptroller's staff was carried out. The results showed that 151 works were visited in La Libertad, from October 2018 to June 2022, the main adverse situations identified being the absence of the Supervisor in 21% of works, non-compliance with safety regulations with 28% and non-existence of the Work Book with 30%. Concluding that the Program does contribute to government control by detecting correctable adverse situations in time, in order to guarantee the achievement of the objectives of the Work.
