Council of Community Comptrollership of Chenalhó
The Council of Community Comptrollership of Chenalhó was created on January 15, 2014 with the launch of a radio campaign "For the right to know" and the dissemination of educational material "From budget to project, let there be no gap." The Council works at submitting requests for access to public information before the municipality and other government bodies of the State of Chiapas. The Council presents itself as an independent group of Tzotzil indigenous women and men from several communities that are organized in order to live a more dignified and just life, through a strong participation, demand and defense of their rights. The Council is working to strengthen its own capacities of monitoring and surveilling the decisions made by the authorities and the actions of officials to incorporate transparency and accountability towards their customs and traditions.
