All for Medellín (Span. Todos por Medellín)
The purpose of Medellín's Citizen Oversight is to monitor the development, performance and degree of transparency of the company Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) and local public administration. Citizens, representatives of civil society organizations, academia, chambers of commerce and trade associations participate in the oversight. Every citizen or organization that is interested can participate in the oversight committee, as long as they are not a member of any political party, have no economic interests in the Mayor's Office of Medellín or in Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM), and refrain from using the oversight committee as a political platform. The Oversight Body makes information and content available to the public on its website, where citizens can also post opinions and read the ones that have been posted by other citizens.
