Transparency

Public agreements, verifiable indicators and an annual report as an expression of the Roundtable's commitment to citizens.

Funding

A shared-responsibility model

The Roundtable is sustained through the shared responsibility of its members: each institution covers the costs of its participation, and the technical secretariat relies on the staff of the body that holds it. Sessions may rotate among the corridors, with logistical support from the host departmental governments, bringing the Roundtable closer to the territories.

Documentation and accountability

Every October, the Roundtable presents its annual report to the plenary and makes it available to the media and the communities of the corridors. At the end of the first three years, an independent evaluation assesses whether to maintain, adjust or expand the model.
