PREFACE
Cecilia Blondet, Director of Protica
The Anti-Corruption Network. An elite group of nationwide observers. We made the decision to create a national Anti-Corruption Network after spending several years working on these issues in five regions of Peru, traveling back and forth, and seeing the meager results of our actions. This led us to the realization that we were doing things backwards. First, we needed to build up the capacities of local and regional civil servants, social institutions and populations. Only then, over time, do we believe it possible to achieve changes in public practices and local citizen action, and from there, in the State and national society. The task is not an easy or immediate one. I use the present tense because this is an ongoing process; we have made progress, but the problem persists. The initial enthusiasm of local authorities for introducing changes and new arrangements to prevent corruption is, generally speaking, ephemeral, volatile, and unstable, as politics tend to be in our country. Promises, photographs and declarations of good intentions are quickly replaced by habit, inertia and a traditional manner of doing things where everything may be hit-or-miss, but it works. The laws dont help; they are tangled and often at odds with each other. What one says, another may contradict, and there is always some way to get out of a jam: loopholes, the art of burying us under legal paperwork that holds such a privileged status in national public management. The procedures and rules of the game arent quite clear and reliable in public administration, either, despite the existence of islands of modernity that function quite well, but which exist alongside tin file cabinets bursting with archives dating back to time immemorial. Generally speaking, laborious administrative procedureswhich are even worse in the provincesoften leave one with the sensation that they are useless actions that are only good for complicating things and performing shakedowns. Thus, skipping these activities ends up being an advantage, not a violation of the rules. Ultimately, civil servants are victims of a stagnant, impenetrable and archaic system and work environment, where they go through the motions each day with little interest in or possibility of changing. But the problem lies not only with national public management; Peruvians point fingers and complain, all the while refusing to admit that we are part of the problem, to say nothing of committing to help find the solution. We need a society that is motivated to carry out effective surveillance. The majority of people are enthusiastic one moment, but quickly grow distracted, bored, and move on. They do not believe that things can truly change. They distrust, doubt and make their exit; best to leave before the going gets tough. Politicians are held in incredibly low esteem, and authorities, after all, are cut from the same cloth: politics. As such, they dont escape the effects of this image problem.

However, while it may seem like the space for action is small, when push comes to shove, it does exist. In all regions, there are institutions that play an outstanding role in different sectors. While they may not have originally had the intention to fight corruption, when they received a special call to action from Protica, they joined in. It was not an overnight process. The stage was gradually set and, overcoming an apparent state of inaction, NGOs, chambers of commerce and youth associations, above all, responded to the investigation and have become increasingly involved. As part of the Millennium Challenge Corporations UMBRAL Program, Protica won the contest for civil society projects. Thanks to the support of USAID and the Open Society Foundation, we have spent the last two years profiling and testing an innovative anti-corruption intervention model, able to be replicated in order to mobilize demotivated societies. The goal is to generate a culture of transparency and accountability, energizing society with effective and dramatic anti-corruption actions, mobilizing the participants of social institutions (though they may be also members of political parties or civil servants), letting them know it is possible to fight with relative success against corrupt practices that are detrimental to many, and making them see that with perseverance, advances and setbacks, it is possible to construct a society with public and social integrity and ethics. This intervention model begins with a 1) Baseline or diagnosis. This study helps establish what sort of ground we are treading in terms of institutional development or risk. It then continues with the 2) Call to action, which must be as broad as possible, made to local groups, bearing a focus on gender and region in mind at all times. The groups should preferably be composed of representatives of NGOs, since they are a strong institutional base; journalists, because they play a key role in informing the public opinion of the issues, concerns, cases and denunciations involved; and lastly, organized young people from universities and different associations. Young people are important because, despite their dispersion, they bring enthusiasm and youth to the initiative. They are the future generations of researchers, civil servants and citizens. The local networks, alternative media and social networks are efficient channels for transmission. Next comes the 3) Anti-Corruption School, designed to teach (or to review for those who already know), first of all, what a State is, what it does, how the political and administrative part is organized and functions (or fails to function), where the main risks of corruption are located and how they manifest themselves. Secondly, the School is used to train participants on how to use the primary tools of public information and identify problems, put together well-founded denunciations, and understand the importance of transparency, accountability and access to information, so that they may disseminate it and demand it when it is not available. Thirdly, as part of their training, participants draft a Work Plan that is submitted to a jury of dignitaries as a commitment. Having professors of the highest quality and written materials are key aspects to ensuring the Schools success. Participants take away not only valuable information, but also written and digital documentation that they can then use in their own activities. After this come the 4) Work Plans and mini-grants. Back in their home regions,
participants training also involves structuring their work plans and drawing up budgets, which the administration of Protica then uses to organize a disbursement and accountability schedule that is strictly observed. For the implementation of the activities committed to in the work plans, groups receive the equivalent of US$4,000. One extremely important component consists of the 5) Monitors or technical assistance. With their backpacks stuffed with anti-corruption tools, the young professionals of the Protica team divide up the country and set out to help the groups perform their activities. The monitors mission is vital to the success of the anti-corruption plans. Another important aspect are the workdays with 6) the Allies. Without alliances, there is no movement or sustainability in the actions. This is made very clear to them. Thus, one of their objectives is to raise awareness, train and involve other young people, civil society institutions, and even regional and local governments. The 7) LUPITA Campaigns, featuring our anti-corruption heroine, are a unifying component which gives the program a national identity and provides the Network with a certain unity, while also infusing vitality and a playful presence into local anti-corruption actions. Every so often, it is necessary to hold 8) Macro-Regional Meetings, refresher courses on anti-corruption concepts and training in the main tools, which also serve to strengthen bonds of identity so that the Network can act as exactly that: a network. However, since holding these meetings in Lima can get repetitive and the regions are in need of local attention, macro-regional meetings have been designed in different parts of the country to bring together representatives of the Network and their allies, and to introduce and commit these groups in national campaign actions. All of these parts are fundamental: the training, the materials, the small sum of money, the technical assistance, the alliances, the campaigns and the macro-regional meetings. When participants are asked what is most important, they dont know which to choose. But since it is impossible to run such a large project indefinitely on funding from international cooperation, Protica is currently designing the next steps toward the sustainability of this AntiCorruption Network. We will develop an in-person modular training program and begin the virtualization of the School to boost and continue the training process. We will develop a series of surveillance tools to aid in the work done with social networks. Virtual (and eventually in-person) conferences, forums and debates in the regions will be highly important. Alongside our work with civil society and social networks, in this new stage we will be concentrating on developing a training offer for civil servants. While there is already a small anti-corruption elite established among civil society, it is also essential to strengthen a small bureaucratic elite so that it may begin to think of local public management in modern, democratic terms. This publication presents the intervention model, along with the successes and setbacks we have encountered during its application, in our efforts to perfect it and enable its replication in other places with the same general characteristics as those that define our reality.

INTRODUCTION TO THE NATIONAL ANTICORRUPTION NETWORK
A new way of fighting against corruption, fresh and modern, that inaugurates a different method: provocative, defiant, lively, bold and untraditional.
Not so long ago, the fight against corruption was like a match. People were interested for a fleeting moment, for the duration of a photograph or a complaint, but the action would fizzle out suddenly. It was the same with politicians, authorities, social leaders and the population. The institutional weakness of the State and society, and the informality present in politics and the economy have reinforced the sensation of impunity, disregard for the law and distrust in authorities. Nowadays, however, corruption has become a serious cause for concern, and this is an opportunity we cannot let pass us by. The Networks approach calls for the creation and strengthening of core anti-corruption groups in the civil society of each region of the
country, as a response to the distrust, indifference and lack of training manifest in civil society when it comes to the fight against corruption. After being properly prepared in the Anti-Corruption School, these core groups were provided with guidance and micro-financing (US$4,000), along with remote and in-person monitoring and technical assistance over the course of twelve months for the development of local initiatives against corruption that promote transparency and accountability in public management, put the issue of corruption on the local and national agenda for debate, and above all, help participants to strengthen their knowledge and make their models for the fight against corruption. The regional core groups are made up of representatives of social organizations, journalists and university students who live in the regions. After two years promoting the Anti-Corruption Network with focal points in each one of the regions, we at Protica firmly believe that it is in fact possible to reverse this situation. Experience shows us that interesting changes can be achieved, that it is possible to affect peoples attitudes by bringing topics related to the risks of corruption up for discussion and acting in an organized manner (a network), that there are stakeholders in the State who may serve as allies and that there are processes underway that must be used to our advantage. Nevertheless, this effort requires a sustained short-, medium- and long-term action with the ability to make an impression and engage, that forms and reinforces knowledge, and that draws a roadmap to the future which gives new anti-corruption leaderships a reason to push on. For all these reasons and more, it is critical to design a strategy with an emphasis on impact, while also building citizen leadership and forming the alliances so vital to the fight against corruption.
Opinions on Corruption In the last Protica survey (2010), we found two particularly significant pieces of data. On one hand, corruption has become the primary cause for concern among Peruvians, overtaking poverty, unemployment, and public security. On the other, Peruvians tolerance toward small-scale corruption has increased. A look at the evolution of the problems that worry the population since 2002 (first edition of the Protica National Survey) shows how
12
13
the current ranking of corruption is the result of a rising trend, as clearly observed in the graph. Whats more, people continue to feel that corruption is the main problem that prevents the State from ensuring growth for all Peruvians. In effect, over half of those who responded to the survey agreed on this point, rather the identification of inefficiency or a lack of economic resources.
What are the countrys three main problems?

(Peru: Evolution 2002 - 2010)
Corruption Unemployment Poverty Drug Use
This perception is related to various factors. The string of scandals involving widespread corruption witnessed in the last several years and the sensation of impunity may be the main ones. In this regard, the survey shows that those who consider corruption trials to be not very inefficient or totally inefficient account for approximately 80% of respondents. However, on the other hand, the survey also indicates that there is a high tolerance among citizens for minor everyday acts of corruption, and acts that violate the law. This double standard indignation over large-scale corruption and tolerance of micro corruptionshows us the progress and limits of the efforts made up to this point. For the majority of the survey respondents, the corrupt ones are the politicians, the authorities and civil servants, not the citizens, themselves, who participate and are won over by the facilities and impunity that comes with small-scale corruption. This may be explained, first of all, by the effect of sustained economic growth without a strategy for the transfer of capacities for its adequate management and without a set of tools that reinforce political and social institutionality. All of this has generated a series of changes and distortions in public management and the local society, multiplying the incompetence, arbitrariness of authority, confusion of the population and, consequently, the risks of corruption. In this regard, the Comptroller Generals Office of the Republic has reported that acts of corruption compromise approximately S/. 350 million (US$100+ million) in decentralized governments1, equivalent to half the funds allotted for public purchases and the performance of works. The canon in those regions where there are extractive industries and investment in agro-industry, manufacturing and commerce on the coast have given rise to a perception of bonanza among some and inequality and corruption among others. The wealth trickles down a bit more, but it does so unequally. At the same time, the precariousness of the State at sub-national levels (processes and people) has been shown, as has the weakness of society when it comes to supervising.
the law among Peruvians, as shown in the graph. In the field of politics, the weakness of the political party system is also marked by informality, which translates into a high level of political proposals during election campaigns2; worse yet, these proposals are flimsy and ephemeral, slapped together for each election and done away with immediately afterwards. In the economy, informality is most notable among micro and small enterprises, also acting as a cover for the organized crime rings spreading further and further around the country: drug trafficking, smuggling and bootlegging, trafficking of land, timber and other natural resources, persons, etc. The State Judicial Defense Council has filed complaints against 166 judges all over the country involved in acts of corruption related to drug trafficking, asset laundering, smuggling and illegal gambling.3
Do you think Peruvian citizens obey the law?
How effective do you think denunciations of corruption are?
Secondly, this effect may be explained by the pragmatism with which people tend to approach their day-to-day lives. In the face of an inefficient State, with burdensome and expensive processes, it is often more convenient to pay a bribe rather than do all the paperwork. People seem to have become accustomed to the corruption of the State, associated with a widely-recognized inefficiency in processes and the incompetence of its officials. It is seen as normal to pay to speed up paperwork, make an appointment or a license, change a students grades or buy bootlegged medicines when faced with a State that does not function otherwise. Informality laid bare. Effectively, we are looking at informality as a characteristic spread throughout every sphere of society, politics and the economy of the country. Once again, the Protica survey corroborates the information gathered in the past with regard to the high level of indifference toward

WHY CREATE A NATIONAL ANTICORRUPTION NETWORK?
To make sure Peru is not governed just from Lima, Protica sets out to train local leaders in all regions of the country
Different studies have shown the negative impact of corruption on democratic governability, especially in developing countries, by destroying citizens confidence in the management and efficiency of the public sector. Corruption allows the States resources, which belong to all citizens, to fall into private hands through murky dealings. But above all, corruption weakens institutions, alters administrative processes and affects the quality of public services. As a consequence, corruption distorts the relationship between the State and its citizens and destroys their confidence in its authorities. Under the argument that nothing is going to change at this point, or that things have always been this way, or worse yet, that the authorities and politicians are always corrupt, citizens easily abandon their ability to express opinions and participate, instead joining in the discouragement and resignation or even resorting to violence and taking justice into their own hands, seriously affecting the quality of democracy. Being acutely aware of this situation, the Protica team assumed the commitment to create and strengthen a National Anti-Corruption Network that trains and mobilizes the population against this scourge. This is a decentralized challenge, so that each region has an anticorruption seed that contributes to improving public management,
providing training and denouncing irregularities while also reviving the relationship between citizens and their local governments in order to achieve their wellbeing. With this objective, the Protica team established two lines of intervention: i) The creation of a National Anti-Corruption School; and ii) The mentoring and advisory of regional core groups in their local initiatives against corruption. To fine tune the call to action for these regional core groups and the preparation of the contents of the training program of the AntiCorruption School, Protica developed a baseline that helped better determine the situation of the social actors. The study was conducted during the months of April and May 2009 in the main cities of the 25 regions of the country, as well as Metropolitan Lima. A total of 550 institutions were visited and 525 people were interviewed. The main conclusions of the study indicated the following: Corruption is a concept with many meanings. In general, corruption is associated with the misuse of State funds, whether in procurements, overvaluation of works or in job positions (nepotism, family or party favoritism or lack of respect for civil service exams). But they are also associated with abusive treatment by teachers, nurses or doctors, sexual harassment by a hierarchical superior, practices that do not necessarily fall under the label of corruption, and the frustration created when the quality of services is poor, and arrogance and incompetence prevail over serving the citizen. Corruption is not a central issue on the regional agenda. As such, it is of little interest to citizens, authorities and public officials, although it becomes important during election seasons. The communication media play an important, but insufficient, role in the fight against corruption. New technologies are expanding the presence of the media in groups of internauts who previously lacked access to newspapers or showed little interest in the news. Nowadays, social networks fulfill a significant function of connecting, informing, and acting as a public space to express opinions. In fact, many of the acts
18
19
of corruption committed would not have been discovered if not for independent communication media. In more than a few cases, these media have been the main protagonists of the denunciations. However, there are still many other communication media that sell their independence, putting it at the service of a candidate, an authority or a group of influential people, making corruption into a political weapon. Unfortunately, investigative journalism is still not very widespread. Citizen surveillance is limited and does not cover anti-corruption issues. Very few regional civil society organizations address the issue of the fight against corruption in their institutional agendas, which limits the impact of any effort they may undertake. What is needed are renewed leaderships, legitimated and with the power to call on others, improve the training and information on citizen surveillance and the fight against corruption, as well as resources and personnel who can do so. The major challenge is to transcend and expand the small circle of acquaintances and people knowledgeable in issues of anticorruption and human rights. Young peoples drive stands in direct contract to their inability to organize themselves. In addition to local youth organizations established around church parishes, the study found two important spaces from which young people may participate in anticorruption activities: the Interquorum Network and university student federations. Some survey respondents were of the opinion that many young people are uninterested in the issue of corruption, whether because they want to avoid problems, they distrust public institutions, they think its a waste of time, or it is simply not among their personal priorities. Unawareness of mechanisms and institutions for participation and supervision. While the Act for Transparency and Access to Public Information was one of the most frequently mentioned mechanisms, most people did not know how to request information or the basic contents of this law. The Ombudsmans Office, the Comptroller Generals Office and the Government Attorney Generals Office were identified as the public institutions that carry out actions for the monitoring and supervision of the state apparatus. But knowledge of their functions is superficial. The Supervisory Board for State Contracting (OSCE) went practically unmentioned by the survey respondents. Demand for training. The respondents demanded training in issues of monitoring and surveillance. It became obvious, first of all, that there is a need for conceptual clarity with regard to corruption, as well as more in-depth knowledge of the laws for fighting it. People want to know how to follow up on a case and how to maintain interest in it. It was also necessary to specify the concept and the scope of citizen surveillance and the different ways it may be carried out. Two points to be careful with 1. Work with universities. In several regions, universities have serious problems with corruption. In the reports, no public universities were found that were willing to work on these issues. 2. The risks of politicization. In different regions, people were identified who might be capable of leading a fight against corruption. However, there was the issue of the two upcoming electoral processes: regional and municipal elections in 2010, and general elections in 2011. In other words, there was a risk that people who expressed interest and displayed the capacity to assume pilot positions could politicize these initiatives, thus sullying the relative objectivity of the core anti-corruption groups.
You feel like part of a collective, a group of people who are fighting toward the same goal.

How to strengthen the fight against corruption

Recommendations taken from the baseline
The management of existing tools for transparency and the fight against corruption are vital. Thus, it is necessary to prepare friendly guidelines for the use of informational websites and for the Integrated State Financial Administration System (SIAF) and the Supervisory Board for State Contracting (OSCE).
Improve the capacities and increase the technical knowledge of civil society against corruption. Show civil society in the regions the different initiatives in the fight against corruption and help strengthen the people and institutions behind them.
Prepare a training program that teaches the members of the core anti-corruption groups to identify and take actions against corruption. Introduce the importance of the fight against corruption into the local and national public agenda.
Identify critical moments of corruption in the public spending and investment cycle, so that the core groups and civil society can remain alert.
Coordinate campaigns for the dissemination of anti-corruption messages through accountability initiatives.
Define a work agenda that includes detecting an act of corruption and accompanying local actors from the denunciation until a sanction is achieved. This will result, on one hand, in increased knowledge of anti-corruption tools, and on the other, it will conquer the sense of importance that local actors feel in the face of corruption.
Include young people, networks, federated centers and youth collectives in the activities of Protica.
Contribute to the formalization of those organizations or initiatives that fight against corruption (guidelines for paperwork in the Public Records Office) and foster their participation in the Local Coordination Councils (LCCs) and Regional Coordination Councils (RCCs).

THE CHALLENGE OF ANTICORRUPTION TRAINING

Samuel Rotta, Academic Coordinator
They have to understand how the State works, were the instructions I received when we started thinking about the contents of the Anti-Corruption School. If they want to know how to fight corruption, they have to understand the logic behind the processes of the State. It made sense, obviously, but it wasnt going to be easy. The purpose of the School was to prepare well-trained anti-corruption activities. Starting with the design of the project, we knew we couldnt expect to take down a corrupt mayor. What we could hope for, though, was to improve the standards of transparency in the management of municipal resources. However, to do that, participants had to know how those resources are managed, how public institutions are organized, and what kinds of standards of transparency and public ethics are established in our laws. With that in mind, the course had to be ambitious. We had one week to teach it, so it also had to be intense. But how should we organize it? Mayn Ugarte from Governa and the School of Administration and Upper Management of the Catholic University, and Violeta Bermdez from Prodescentralizacin became our allies, helping us to put our own ideas in order. Protica had already spent seven years collecting information on corruption in the regions and learning about experiences in the fight against corruption. But all that knowledge needed to be organized and turned into a jam-packed, but still possible, syllabus. The experience of Ugarte and Bermdez in the preparation of university courses and training for local officials and social actors gave us the guidance we needed to manage all that knowledge, as well as to identify the fields where we needed outside experts, the best in each area, who would act as professors. In the end, we were able to put together a syllabus with the characteristics we sought: comprehensive, covering everything from global trends to the history of corruption in Peru, and from the general laws to the specific risks in the most sensitive areas (State procurements and human resources management); relevant, because the topics we selected make up the basics necessary to become more familiar with the logic behind the reproduction of corruption; and lastly, it combined theory classes with hands-on exercises to reinforce the lessons learned, including the preparation of a proposal for a local anti-corruption initiative that participants would apply after finishing their week of classes in Lima. And while the students didnt become constitutional scholars, they were able to listen to Samuel Abad give them a master class on the right to access to public information and the law on transparency, and they exchanged impressions with him based on their own experience. They didnt end up as experts on human resources management, but they were able to explore problems of corruption related to this issue together with Jorge Arruntegui, now Vice Minister of Social Inclusion, and at that time manager of the National Civil Service Authority (SERVIR). They are not technicians on State procurements, but they held discussions with Mara Ins Celle, a specialist on the matter from the consultancy Governa, on cases of corruption in their municipalities and regional governments. They were also privy to similar experiences in other issues essential for understanding the State and the risks of corruption associated with those fields. At the end of the School, the students returned to their hometowns better prepared to identify problems of corruption and prepare proposals for the fight against corruption. They were exhausted by the end, of course, but satisfied and hopeful. They left loaded down with materials that Protica had put together beforehand, as well as documents prepared with the support of our partners from the Institute of the Press and Society (IPYS), which prepare a basic guide on investigative journalism; from the Andean Commission of Legal Scholars (CAJ), which systematized its successful experience in the transparency of court judgments; and from the Asociacin Civil Transparencia, which created a guide on monitoring political financing.
THE NATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION SCHOOL
Learning to identify and denounce corruption

To understand the size of the problem of corruption in Peru and develop the capacity of regional civil society to fight it, Protica designed an intervention model with the following components: the Anti-Corruption School, Work Plans, Technical Assistance, National Campaigns, and Strategic Alliances. Thus, the first National Anti-Corruption School in Peru was implemented. The purpose of this school was to develop participants capacity to identify, perceive and understand the phenomenon of corruption, particularly on a local level, while also training them in the use of tools to denounce and uproot it. They were expected to learn to find answers to questions about how the State works and where the risks of corruption lie, and to develop expertise in the use of the main informational websites. Organization, Selection and Admission Invitations were made to regional groups made up of two university students, a journalist and a representative of a formally established social organization (NGO, etc.). Plurality, democracy and a gender focus were insisted on in the composition of these groups; applications from individuals or civil servants were not accepted, in an effort to emphasize the Schools objective of nourishing a civil society network. Citizens responded to the call from all of the political regions of the country, who were evaluated by a jury of professionals with broad experience and a proven track record of independence.
The jury members were: Fernando del Carpio, general manager of the Peruvian Institute of Business Action (IPAE). Jos Ugaz, partner at the law firm of Estudio Bentez, Forno & Ugaz, and former Anti-Corruption Prosecutor. Marcela Huaita, representative of Protica. Gerardo Tvara, of the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty. Patricia Zrate, researcher from the Institute for Peruvian Studies (IEP). Applicants for the First School A total of 384 people participated: 212 men and 172 women. Women: Out of 172, 65 were journalists of members of a civil association (38%) and 107 were students (62%). Men: In the case of the men, out of all 212, 85 (40%) were students and 127 (60%) were representatives of an NGO or journalists.
Teaching Methods and Staff The first School was carried out through in-person sessions (a one-week live-in program in the capital city of Lima), and inperson and virtual monitoring and technical assistance guiding the fieldwork over the next 14 months. This model was replicated in the following school.

The School Syllabus During the classroom sessions, which were taught over the course of seven days and broken down into five work units, the following syllabus was addressed: Unit 1 If the State is mine, why cant I do whatever I want with its resources? The difference between public and private / The situation in Peru and consequences on the State and citizenry / Evolution and outlook. Unit 2 What is and what is not corruption? Notes on the meaning of a concept that evokes many different interpretations among Peruvians / Causes and classes / Analysis of cases to identify situations, actors, factors of context, consequences and relationships with other problems. Unit 3 What fields are most vulnerable to corruption and how can they be surveilled? State procurements and management of public sector personnel / Reasons for their weakness in the face of corruption / Surveillance tools available. Unit 4 What resources do I have to fight corruption? Legal tools and formal procedures to demand transparency and access to information / Map of channels of denunciation and processes for investigation and sanctioning. Unit 5 And now what do I do? Identification of problems in the participants hometowns / Preparation of viable proposals / Preparation of plans of action / Tools for communication and management of anticorruption initiatives.
We started off with a lot of enthusiasm. The School was a big motivation. The fact that I was accepted to the project meant so much We have promoted these activities on a full-time basis.
(Female, age 25, educator, Arequipa)
Im happy about the work Ive been doing. I always think back on the School as if it were yesterday.
(Female, age 38, engineer, Tacna)
Lessons Learned from the Anti-Corruption School High value placed on training received to put the concepts and tools learned into practice. Useful conceptual tools to train other publics in the hometowns and to be applied in other aspects of their professional career, as well as the anti-corruption project. Interest in continuing training and getting more in-depth. Difficulties with regard to use of electronic tools for surveillance of public resources.
It was definitely fruitful for me. The opportunity Protica has given us laudable. There werent many of us that were accepted into this space and Ive been able to take the knowledge shared at the events organized by Protica and replicate it in other spaces like the university, youth groups. It was something very positive.

Applying the lessons learned: from theory to practice

Every one of the regional groups that participated in each Anti-Corruption School selected from among their regions or provinces problems the issue that they wanted to address as part of their training. Each one of the teams drafted their proposal and presented it to their classmates and a jury of professionals. The objective was for them to identify a problem, design a tool to deal with it, and to support their proposal convincingly. Not only that, but they would have to take on the commitment to actually carry their project out. To execute their work plan, Protica provided them with the equivalent of US$4,000, which they had to invest in their project. A users guide was prepared and they were given advice to help them with the smart spending and responsible accountability of the stipend. Based on the work plans, ordered according to the area of intervention, eleven groups decided to act in municipalities (provincial or district) and four in regional governments; five groups focused on the education sector, two on the administration of justice, one on the agricultural sector, one on social programs, one works with journalists and another with civil society.
With regard to the contents: 6 groups worked on transparency and access to information 5 on budget surveillance 5 on the use of public resources 4 took an interest in problems with hiring personnel 2 on financing of election campaigns 1 on the monitoring of judicial proceedings 1 on building political consensuses on anti-corruption; and 1 on undue fees in schools Generally speaking, the activities of almost all the groups were aimed at improving societal control of the use of public resources, whether through an activity related to greater transparency and access to information, through strengthening the skills of civil society surveillance committees, or through direct inspections for processes such as the hiring of personnel.

As expected, varying progress was made in the regions. Some groups responded very well to their work plans and even went beyond the actions they had planned, while in other cases, progress was slow and there was some difficulty in achieving objectives. The factors that influenced the greater or lesser success of the groups were as follows: i. Backing of a strong NGO: It was important for the groups to have the backing of an established and well-organized NGO. This gave the group a series of opportunities: involvement or aid from the organizations professionals in the performance of the project; a network of contacts; institutional backing, whether technical, political or logistical (meeting space, access to telephones and other means of communication, computers and files); access to cash in case of emergencies; and the possibility of leveraging resources for the performance of actions. ii. Consolidated regional core groups: The core groups that showed the most progress in the performance of their work plans were those that had several members involved in the same organization, who shared previous bonds and additional coordination spaces, who lived near each other and could meet up relatively easily, who had strong (but not vertical) leaders, and whose members could help each other out when one of them did not have time to finish all the activities under his/her responsibility.
iii. Having journalists in the regional core groups was a success factor in that these members had the capacity to disseminate activities and results among the local public opinion. The groups journalists did not fully commit to their work in all cases, which had a marked effect on the progress made. iv. The participation of university students was inconsistent: it was vital in some regions, where the youths took on an intense commitment during their vacations, while in other cases the students distanced themselves from the group and carried out works in other places or got involved in other things. v. In some regions, part of the success was the power to call on other organizations, forming alliances and establishing stronger institutional platforms for the fight against corruption.

Information and transparency in public investment

The Anti-Corruption Network is taking on an important presence in Curahuasi and Abancay The anti-corruption core group focused its work on the district of Curahuasi, in the province of Abancay, capital of the Andean region of Apurmac. The task was to build capacities to influence access to information in State entities and achieve transparency in public investment. Specifically, the project sought to develop capacities in the control committee of the beneficiary population of the project for the Expansion and Improvement of the Water and Sewer System in Curahuasi through the appropriate use of regulations, information and citizen surveillance procedures. To achieve this objective, it was necessary to improve access to information and transparency in the performance of public investment projects. The activities of the anti-corruption core group began with a forum held on the topic in question. Later, a training workshop was implemented for the surveillance committee of the project, where a mutual work agreement was also signed. Other important achievements include the creation of an anti-corruption website and blog for the region, as well as the publication of an informational bulletin. On April 13, 2010, the Apurmac Anti-Corruption Forum was held, with the participation of the historian Antonio Zapata, the anthropologist Paola Patio, judge Sadith de la Cuba and Dr. Luis Alberto Legua. There is a significant presence of social organizations in Apurmac working on problems related to the fight against corruption (23, according to the Protica Baseline document drafted in 2009), which, from the very beginning, made it possible for the regional core group to form alliances with Care, Grupo Voluntariado Civil GVC, the Office for the Supervision of the Magistracy (ODECMA), the Anti-Corruption Prosecutors Office of Apurmac, the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty, Caritas, the Ombudsmans Office, etc. The majority of these allied organizations participated in the different activities promoted by the anti-corruption core group, as well as the first meetings to coordinate on issues and establish work timelines. The most notable result was the widespread presence gained by the regional base of the Anti-Corruption Network in Curahuasi and Abancay, as evidenced in the different public activities carried out and in the communication media, especially on local television.
The core group is dynamic and motivated, highly committed to its cause, and able to establish alliances with other social organizations, all of which indicates that its activity may take on greater dimensions in the fight against corruption. The liabilities noted in the overall balance of its activities include some overlapping of activities among group members, a delay in commencing their tasks (due to social conflicts in the zone) and the groups dependence on a leader, whose possible absence may affect their work. The first regional core group was made up of Lino Pineda Ayala from the non-profit association Prisma, the journalist Julio Casas Surez and the students Emmy Chipa Bentez and Hctor Junior Bazn Juro. Volunteer work was done by Luis Pineda, Pedro Balln and Julio Csar Rondn. The group later incorporated Graciela Montes Montesinos of Prisma, Yerssey Caballero Palomino of IDMA and the journalist Hermgenes Rojas Sullca.
Anti-Corruption Tools Developed: Impact action plan Latest progress: In 2011, the Apurimac Anti-Corruption Network aims to: Strengthen the surveillance committee of the district of Curahuasi to ensure better fulfillment of its duties and monitoring of the 2011- 2012 participative budgets. The team is currently working on two training workshops for the surveillance committees in the zone, as well as a citizen surveillance manual adapted to the regional context, based in large part on the document prepared last year by the La Libertad Anti-Corruption Network de La Libertad. They are also designing a radio kit to be used as a tool for raising awareness in the region with regard to issues of citizen participation and surveillance.

I think this is the first TESTIMONIES AND EXPERIENCES time a National AntiCorruption Network When youre too involved in has been formed in your social life, you think fighting against the monster of corruption civil society, and I is too hard. But using this initiative as a starting point, things think as the first class, can change. It will become easier were going to set a as people learn about more tools: they will be more vigilant with the benchmark in Peru, State. and were also going to have the chance of I think I understand the sharing our successes magnitude of the problem. I feel a bit impotent in the fight against and failures with other corruption. But Im optimistic, because along the way you meet members.

Were a group, because you cant fight this alone. Nothing like this group has been seen in Abancay; this is the first thing thats been done in our city. I dont want this project to end.

Updating Transparency Websites

Active participation of defense fronts and political organizations The initiative of the regional core group from Callao consisted of developing a project to promote the publication of information on the transparency websites of the district municipalities of Callao, as well as their timely updating in accordance with law. For this purpose, different strategies were set forth: 1. Use actions to influence authorities and officials for the constant updating of the websites of the six municipalities and the Regional Government of Callao. 2. Create core monitoring groups with members and institutions from civil society to ensure the adequate implementation of the transparency websites. 3. Raise awareness among officials and civil society leaders in each district, as well as on a provincial and regional level, regarding the benefits of having adequately implemented transparency websites. The actions of the regional anti-corruption group initially resulted in gaining the attention of local authorities when they learned that the websites of their respective municipalities would be checked. This motivated them to give greater support, providing access to databases, premises and other infrastructure. The activities included the participation of defense fronts, as well as political organizations and their respective candidates, who were right in the middle of a regional and municipal election campaign. Over the course of the project, although not exclusively as a consequence thereof, the local governments of Ventanilla, La Punta and Callao improved the presentation and quality of the information on their websites. On the other hand, actions stagnated in the municipality of Carmen de la Legua-Reynoso, despite the participation and interest of its authorities. Over the course of two months, three mayors resigned (in order to participate in the regional and municipal elections in October), causing their replacements to change their technical teams. Currently, the anti-corruption group has a space on Radio Callao, a major broadcaster in this port region, where they have a weekly program on Tuesdays to comment on anti-corruption actions in the Region of Callao and its districts.
Other allies included the National University of Callao, through Prof. Hernn Hernndez, dean of the school of economics; the Callao Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty, through its director, Rossana Escalante, as well as Gerardo Tvara and Hugo Brousset from the Good Governance collective. It is important to note that the anti-corruption group also participated in the Informed Vote campaign, promoted by the National Elections Board (JNE), to raise awareness of the need to watch over public resources, websites and the rsums of the candidates in accordance with the guidelines of the Lupita campaign promoted by Protica. In its final report, the regional group declared that, although partially, it had succeeded in improving access to information and the compliance with the Transparency Act in the municipalities of Callao, as well as fostering a more active and well-grounded participation by civil society in these issues. As part of its self-criticism, the anti-corruption group recognized its weakness, to the point that the leader and the journalist took on the majority of the tasks. The regional group was made up of the professors Jos Antonio Magallanes Carrillo and Mara Nlida Leureyros Oliden, and by the students Jocelyn Milagros Rivera Martell and Miguel ngel Romero Cceres.

TESTIMONIES AND EXPERIENCES

My outlook with regard to corruption is positive. I think the more things we do, the better. Every little bit adds up, and we have more possibilities of controlling it. My experience in the Network has helped me see that justice can prevail, but more work needs to be done with institutions. The bad part is that we can take action against corruption, but the State does not do its part. Whats important is to be persistent and keep getting others to join forces.
(Male, age 40, educator, journalist and NGO representative)
More than discouraging me, this motivates me to keep participating and give all I have to give.
(Female, age 51, educator and journalist)
We witness so much corruption in Callao. Ive discovered many irregularities in the regional and local governments. During election season, threats, irregular acts and systematic theft were everyday occurrences. There are people who are afraid to complain, who have been forced to donate part of their salaries.
This experience has had a positive effect on my personal and professional life because it gives you a line as a citizen that should not be crossed. It sets limits: where you should not go and what you should not do. You cannot have a double standard. If you join the anticorruption team, theres no turning back.

Citizens united for a just, corruption-free society

Training social leaders in mechanisms for denunciation in the administration of justice The problem addressed here is rooted in a lack of awareness among the population of the judicial district of Hunuco (like in many other parts of the country) with regard to the mechanisms available to denounce acts of corruption in the administration of justice. Several factors combine to give rise to this problem, including: lack of dissemination and clarity of procedures; lack of public spaces that take an interest in receiving denunciations; excessive delay in attending to complaints on matters of corruption. The result is the distrust and discouragement of the population, who do not know how to protect their rights in the face of acts of corruption that occur during the administration of justice. In response to this situation, the anti-corruption core group from the region of Hunuco established the need to get involved in training the population so that it may file denunciations through the respective channels available. At the same time, the group sought to generate public spaces that might have an impact on the problem, so that the Attorney Generals Office and the Judiciary would react and properly attend to denunciations of corruption made by the population with regard to the administration of justice. Thus, the issue of corruption was placed on the public agenda for the entire year of 2010, and was noted with satisfaction that some institutions joined in the initiative, implementing actions involving civil society in increased surveillance and the denunciation of acts of corruption. One example of this was the participation of the representatives from the institutions of the National Justice System in the launch of the Citizens United for a Just and Corruption-Free Society project. Another instance was the creation of the Provincial Committees for Judicial Transparency in the provinces of Ambo and Tingo Mara, in the region of Hunuco, as part of the efforts undertaken by the Committee for Judicial Transparency of the Judicial District of Hunuco. Note should be made of the interest and participation of the Judiciary, the Ombudsmans Office and the Peruvian Police Force (PNP). The Attorney Generals Office attended the project launch and expressed great interest, but never participated in any of the other activities to which it was invited. Also notable was the participation and backing of the communication
media (written, radio and television press) for the dissemination of the activities, which had a significant impact on the public opinion. The groups achievements, resulting from the degree of integration and consistency among team members, are summed up by the awareness raised on the issue of corruption, exploring it in depth, while also creating alliances and participating in local spaces with allies such as the Committee for Judicial Transparency, the Judiciary, etc. The Hunuco regional group of the National Anti-Corruption Network was formed by the attorney Claudia Baldramina Garca Dextre from the NGO Paz y Esperanza, the journalist Judith Rosario Gonzles Ticona, and the law students Jimy Roosbelt Gonzles Ticona and Nina Caroli Lpez Antonio. They were later joined by the attorney Fiorella Garay from Paz y Esperanza, the communications student Yoel Yobenito Ventura Rivera, Maru Jocely Malpartida Morales from the IQ Network, Amanda Eliana Valdez Salinas of Prisma and the journalist Jeremas Ageo Godoy Borja. Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Radio and TV spot to raise awareness of the fight against corruption in the justice sector Latest Progress: In 2011, the Hunuco anti-corruption group, with the backing of Paz y Esperanza, has been implementing the work plan aimed at improving the level of transparency in the process for the selection of the Juntos program, by building the capacities of local promoters and civil society in issues related to the fight against corruption, access to information and surveillance mechanisms. The team organized an informational fair and two training workshops on issues related to citizen surveillance, transparency and access to information, aimed at members of the local Supervision and Transparency Committee and civil society involved in the Juntos program. The group recently promoted the creation of a district citizen surveillance committee in Quisqui, which will make recommendations to improve the transparency of the Juntos Program. The Hunuco Anti-Corruption Network has established alliances with the non-profit association Prisma, the Regional Supervision and Transparency Committee, the Ombudsmans Office, the Hunuco Juntos Program, District Municipality of Quisqui, Womens Rights Promoters Network of Quisqui, and the Interquorum Network. As part of its project, the Hunuco AntiCorruption Network has carried out the following activities: Gathering of information for diagnosis (August 27) Presentation and informational fair on the project in the district of Quisqui (September 11) 1st Transparency Workshop with beneficiaries of the Juntos Program (September 18) 2nd Transparency and Citizen Surveillance Workshop (September 25)

Mechanisms for access to public information

Forging a culture of transparency and the fight against corruption The general objective of the initiative consisted of ensuring that the mechanisms for access to public information of the Regional Government of Lima and the local governments of Barranca, Huaura and Huaral are up-to-date, user-friendly and efficient. Simultaneously, specific objectives established included contributing to forging a culture of transparency and access to public information in the regional and local governments; promoting interest in and exercise of these mechanisms in civil society; and influencing the community with regard to these issues through communication media. After a great deal of hard work, the Lima-Provinces core group of the National Anti-Corruption Network succeeded in positioning itself as a leader in the monitoring of the transparency websites of the respective regional government and the local governments of Barranca, Huaura and Huaral. As a result, according to the core groups final report, it may be said that the transparency websites monitored have improved the frequency at which they are updated, made progress in adapting to standards, and their internal teams have been strengthened. Since then, the local press has also made a habit of frequently checking the institutional websites of the municipalities, the regional government and the State. Currently, neighboring provinces and districts have begun requesting that the regional core group pay them a visit in order to apply its monitoring techniques and knowledge to their transparency websites. The activities of the regional core group began with a launch forum, followed by two decentralized training workshops (in the provinces of Huaral, Barranca and Huaura - Huacho), as well as periodic coordination visits to the officials responsible for access to information and transparency websites in the provinces in question, and the regional government of Lima-Provinces. Methodological guidelines were drawn up for the monitoring of transparency websites, access to information and training workshops. Circumstantial (non-permanent) alliances were also formed with the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty Lima Region, the Ombudsmans Office, the National Office of Election Processes

(ONPE), the National Elections Board (JNE), CODEH Huacho and Grupo Transparencia. Although it was unable to fully achieve its goals, the regional core group also took an interest in establishing positive relationships with the media and members of the local press, who provided valuable help in carrying out the groups tasks. In conclusion, the project enabled the regional core group to make inroads on a proposal for the fight against corruption in the region despite its limitations and the dispersion of its members, who live in different provinces. Even so, they were able to forge a team with a notable presence (through local groups) in the provinces of Barranca, Huaura and Huaral, with the possibility of expanding this presence to other provinces in 2011. The regional core group was formed by the social promoter Rolando Silvio Yaurie Enrquez; the president of the Barranca Chamber of Commerce, Julio Nizama Cnepa; the journalists Evelyn Roco Esquivel Nolasco, Georgina Carlos Panana, Fernando Roberto Bazalar La Rosa and Ruth Robles Romero; as well as the attorney Christian Enrique Gonzles Chvez and the student Flix Prez Huertas. They were later joined by Claudia Anal Pinazzo Vallejos. Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Monitoring sheet for the process of access to information

Its been really tough to schedule activities because of the different jobs of each members, and we havent been a tight-knit group. I took on the role of leader that depended partly on the availability of the members from each province and the commitment of whether or not the activities were being carried out. But despite these difficulties, the Transparency and Good Governance group has positioned itself in the region. The group gets invited to all sorts of activities and weve even signed a governability agreement. In the forums for regional candidates, we participated with a series of anti-corruption questions. Weve already gained a base of participants to continue on with this next year.

The mechanisms used by corruption sometimes seem invisible, but when you start crosschecking information, you begin questioning everything you see. When youre in contact with local or regional officials, you start to figure out how favors are done and then you pick up on indications of corruption. Because of the projects dynamics, spaces have been opened up where I have been able to learn about and confirm how the issue of corruption is handled on a local and regional level, something thats very normal for a lot of people. For me, the concepts are clear.

Management and processing of official paperwork

Training the farmers of Tambopata and Tahuamanu The initiative of this project has a very long but telling title: Building capacities of the rural population (farmers) in the legal management and processing of paperwork in the Region of Madre de Dios. The issue itself consists of informing and training farmers from the provinces of Tambopata and Tahuamanu on the processing of paperwork to obtain permits for the use of the resources on their farmlands. This is a task in which many of them are unsure of how to proceed. Thus, there is an abundance of irregularities in the General Bureau of Forestry and Wild Fauna of Madre de Dios (DGFFS). For this project, the Madre de Dios group of the National AntiCorruption Network surveyed the farmers of Tambopata and Tahuamanu, systematized the data collected, and then presented their findings in a discussion panel held in August 2010, where they explained their project. The discussion table attracted the interest of institutions such as IISur, Osinfor, the Economic Development Management (of the Regional Government of Madre de Dios), Aider, the Madre de Dios Forestry Program, CAMDE, ACCA, Pro Naturaleza, UNSAAC, UNAMAD, and SPDA. The information from the surveys was used to identify the target population: farmers affected by acts of corruption in the DGFFS, each one of whom was called on to schedule the dates of the following activity. To increase effectiveness, the entire population was invited. In the case of the province of Tahuamanu, the call was made using flip charts with information on the project and the training workshop to be held. In the case of the province of Tambopata, the announcement was made via radio messages (and using megaphones). The candidates for regional government positions who managed to move on to the second round of elections (Luis Aguirre Pastor, of the party Bloque Popular, and Simn Horna Alpaca, of Amor por Madre de Dios) were asked, according to data taken from the surveys, What is your view on corruption in the forestry sector? and What proposals and alternatives are included in your government plan to take on these acts of corruption? They were also asked to give a message to the population regarding these problems. The regional group was composed of Ramn Rivero, representative of SPDA, and the students Anggela Michi and Sergio Chura. Volunteer
work was done by Jos Luis Miche Seminario, Elisban Choque, Nadie Mamani Chvez and Eddy Pea of the SPDA. Later on, the group was joined by Edmundo Florez of Critas, Eddy Pea Cruz, and the community leaders Javier Palomino and Saturnino Pacheco. Anti-Corruption Tools Developed: Diagnosis on level of information held by farmers. Training workshops. Latest Progress: In 2011, the objective of the Madre de Dios Anti-Corruption Network is to ensure the transparency of the administrative process for achieving the environmental certification of individual and small-scale mining activities and train officials from the Regional Bureau of Energy, Mines and Hydrocarbons (DREMH) to the benefit of all actors. One of the main activities proposed by the Madre de Dios team was to conduct an analysis of the laws in force on the matter of environmental impact assessments applicable to individual and small-scale mining activity. They also performed interviews with officials from the DREMH to obtain information on the steps to be followed in the Environmental Impact Assessment evaluation procedure; interviews with the population affected by this problem, and miners unions, as a way to validate the procedures to be followed to obtain the environmental certification of their activities.

What usually happens TESTIMONIES AND EXPERIENCES with people is that, since
I want a change to be made, especially in the area of forestry. If you make a denouncement, they punish you for it. Thats why I think its important to strengthen the Anti-Corruption Network here, so we can do something.
(Female, age 22, forest engineering student)
I think theres a lot to be done. Its clear to me, thanks to this experience, what things remain to be done, and there are a lot of them. When we were doing the workshops, people would ask us to come back, theyd ask when. There is a great need for this.
(Male, age 30, forest engineering student)
When we did the presentation in La Novia, people got really scared. Then we realized that mentioning the word corruption is a sensitive subject. After that, we were much more careful.
(Female, age 22, forest engineering student)
the State is absent, they make a lot of negative comments, like Why havent they done this or that? So they looked to us to do it, and would say things like Itll always be this way. But little by little, they began to understand the issue of permits. So I think the response has been positive. They also asked us to come back, because many more farmers wanted to participate.

When the press is indifferent

Journalists showed little interest in training workshops The regional core group from San Martn proposed a project for fostering and facilitating access to public information by journalists so that their articles would be better documented, thus reducing spaces of corruption. As a supplementary measure, the group sought to train and raise awareness among the officials of these provinces in order to provide the press with information from their institutions. With this objective in mind, the group decided to make use of the training workshop methodology, in which State officials were also invited to participate. Additionally, an investigative journalism contest was planned. At first, the project seemed to be working. The initiative was presented at a press conference in the provinces of San Martn and Lamas, and the first two training workshops were held for journalists (on the Access to Public Information Act) and for officials from State offices (on the Transparency Act and the Civil Servants Code of Ethics). The regional core group also created a blog (http://redsanmartin. blog-spot.com/), still in use as of this date, which served as a means for disseminating the actions of the National Anti-Corruption Network, along with new related to its work in the different regions of the country. However, the second phase of the training workshops for journalists and civil servants was cancelled due to a lack of participants. It was later learned that the journalists did not show up to the workshops because they were busy covering the campaigns of candidates for provincial and district mayors offices. It was also surprising that the journalists showed no interest in the investigative journalism contest, despite how tempting the prizes were: a laptop and collection of books. According to the regional core group, some journalists were nervous about competing with their more experienced colleagues. The regional core group was made up of Genaro Snchez, representative of the Association of Municipalities of San Martn, the journalist Semiramis Chvez, and the students Gissela Crdenas and Jhon Prez. Latest Progress: In 2011, the San Martn Anti-Corruption Network was strengthened by the presence of Csar Paz Fernndez and Juana Moreno Arana from the MCLCP, Tatiana Cieza Ramrez, Nora Nieto Penadillo of Prisma and Betty Laurel of CEDISA.
Currently, the San Martn Anti-Corruption Network is implementing the project for the Strengthening of Citizen Influence to Ensure Transparency and Monitor the Glass of Milk Program in the Municipality of San Martn Tarapoto, which seeks to improve the transparency in the procedures for procurement, distribution and focalization of beneficiaries of the Glass of Milk program in San Martn, while at the same time ensuring that the mothers who benefit from this program are able to play an effective role in the supervision and surveillance thereof. To date, they have carried out the following actions: Informational meeting with authorities and officials for the presentation of the project Public presentation of the project with strategic allies and local government Training workshop for the leaders of the Glass of Milk Committee (CVL) on citizen surveillance, procurement processes, distribution of inputs, roles and functions of the Administrative Committee. Workshop with leaders of the CVL on citizen surveillance and the preparation of a Surveillance Plan on: Processes for the procurement and distribution of inputs Fulfillment of roles and functions of the Administrative Committee

With the authorities, you cant take a confrontational strategy. It has to be indirect. The anti-corruption issue has to be accompanied by other topics. Because its not something they consider important or useful.
(Male, age 51, NGO representative)
Its a positive experience, but we need to review the lessons learned and try to systematize it to use this experience for future interventions. Its an issue that raises expectations and generates currents of opinion. Its an issue the people need to hear about, but at the same time, theyre used to corruption.
(Focus group)
Impunity generates a countercurrent. Thats why we need to emphasize the consequences more. For example, Your family feels bad when youre not transparent. We need a campaign to raise awareness. I know many mayors who started off clean and ended up corrupt.

For transparency in the participative budget

Provinces of Huaraz, Yungay and Pomabamba were placed in the spotlight Monitoring transparency in the execution of the participative budgets of the municipalities of Huaraz, Yungay and Pomabamba, in the region of ncash, was the task assumed by the Ancash regional core group of the National Anti-Corruption Network. Within this framework of action, the project also sought to build the capacities of the participating officials and agents. As a sort of baseline, rapid situational diagnoses were conducted on the participative budgets of the three cities mentioned. The results of these diagnoses showed distrust and a lack of participation by citizens, as well as the low levels of transparency with which the process was carried out. In some cases, it was observed that the prioritization of projects had political aims, a problem due mainly to the lack of interest among authorities in ensuring the transparency of the participative budgets, but also to low levels of participation of surveillance committees and serious deficiencies in the execution of the processes. In the three cities in question, the anti-corruption core group promoted public mobilizations, as well as forums and training workshops for the fight against corruption, with the participation of officials and volunteers from civil society. Simultaneously, in coordination with the municipalities (who acted as allies of the anti-corruption core group), work was done to raise awareness among authorities with regard to the issue of transparency and knowledge of the civil servants Code of Ethics. 9% 34% 42% Other allies in the anti-corruption crusade in these three cities included the students of Santiago Antnez de Mayolo National University and the student governments (thanks to the support of the National Institute of Child and Family Wellbeing - Inabif). Capacity-building allies included the MIM, the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty (MCLCP) and the Ombudsmans Office. 28% 17% 16% Marches for ethics were also organized in the cities of Huaraz and Yungay, which included the participation of Prisma Ancash. These activities were benefited in Huaraz by the presence of social organizations, NGOs, unions and organizations of professionals interested in the issue of corruption. The press is another important
actor in this fight, although, according to the anti-corruption core group, there are few unbiased journalists left who are in a position to denounce this problem in the region. However, there were problems with the timely execution of the different phases of the participative budget in the three provinces selected, typified, among other things, by delays in the formation and implementation of the surveillance committees. In its own evaluation, the Ancash anti-corruption core group states that it failed to position itself among the population of Huaraz as it would have liked. This shortcoming was related to problems such as long distances between the scopes of action proposed and the small size of the work group. It should be noted that Huaraz, the capital of the region of Ancash, is one of the cities that receives the most benefits from the abundant canon corresponding to this mining region. The Ancash group was composed of Nancy Nlida Tamara Celmi, local coordinator of the governability and transparency project Prisma; the journalist Ral Germn Bautista; the nutritionist Ricardo Antonio Castelo Espinoza; and the students Albert Leonardo Aranda Rodrguez and Alexander Ocrospoma. One of the original members, Aldo Soriano, had to drop out of the network because of school. However, new members later joined: Nelly Villanueva of the MCLCP and Cecil Oliver Figueroa Melendez of the MIM.

Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Learning about the Results-Based Participative Budget Training Guide Latest Progress: The Ancash Anti-Corruption Network has been executing a work plan aimed at building the capacities of the Surveillance and Control Committees within the framework of the Participative Budget process in the Regional Government and the Provincial Municipality of Huaraz. As part of these efforts, the anti-corruption core group aims to continue its work in 2010 to consolidate the citizen surveillance of the participative budgets, while also making progress in the process for the training and consolidation of the Regional Network for Transparency and Good Governance. The Regional Anti-Corruption Core Group is backed by respected institutions such as the Non-Profit Association PRISMA, Improving Municipal Investment (MIM) and the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty (MCLCP). It is important to mention that all these actors form part of the Regional Participative Budget Technical Committee, where they provide technical assistance. Likewise, the Ancash branch of MIM performs monitoring and technical works for the Provincial Municipality of Huaraz, providing economic information on the municipal management. Lastly, it should be noted that the group has developed alliances with other local actors such as Santiago Antnez de Mayolo National University (UNASAM) and the Ombudsmans Office. To date, the group has carried out the following activities in 2011: Workshop for the strengthening of the participative budget surveillance committees Technical assistance meetings with the 2011 participative budget surveillance committees Work and technical assistance meetings with the Provincial Government of Huaraz Awareness campaign aimed at the population: Informational anti-corruption fair Awareness campaign aimed at the population: March for transparency Training workshop aimed at civil society on the issue of corruption, citizen surveillance, the transparency act, public ethics Meeting with civil society organizations for regional and local citizen surveillance
I think the issue of corruption exists in all the public spaces and institutions of the region. I think so because I have been around the region, to the districts and provinces, and there is clear evidence of corruption in each of them, in all the sectors (education, health, livestock, social programs).

I think the issue of corruption exists in all the public spaces and institutions of the region. I think so because I have been around the region, to the districts and provinces, and there is clear evidence of corruption in each of them, in all the sectors (education, health, livestock, social programs, etc.). It is a critical problem, and I think the chance to participate in the Network enables me to take the blindfold off and realize that this problem is institutionalized. Ive achieved this thanks to taking part in the Anti-Corruption School, the activities of my project, the information collected, as well as verifying circumstances in situ.
this because corruption has taken away that money allocated to cover those needs. I think staying involved in these anti-corruption activities is a way to give something back to the country that has taken me in and given me work. Its also a way to perfect our professional tools for educating people on issues of transparency.

Im motivated to see how the system of corruption works, despite coming from another country, very different from Peru. The effects are quite similar and they create familiar crises, the failure to meet the millennium goals, robbing the State and poor infrastructure. All
Yes, I think its important to be part of a network, considering the magnitude of the problem of corruption. It is necessary to bring in new allies willing to promote the issue of transparency in the public sector. I think we need to continue this work. Im interested in continuing with the Network.

Surveillance committees for participative budgets

A stimulating experience in the district municipality of Laredo The group from La Libertad started with the idea that the problem to be confronted was rooted in the deficient management of the 2009 Participative Budget Surveillance Committee of the district of Laredo. The factors behind this deficiency included a lack of economic resources for its functioning, a work plan without financing, lack of regulations on organization and duties and, above all, a lack of tools for monitoring the progress of works. As a whole, these factors resulted in a high risk of corruption. Thus, the objective of the project consisted in adequately training the participating agents and designing a local citizen surveillance system to improve the management capacities of the members of the Participative Budget Surveillance Committee, equipping it with field instruments, with the added condition that these should be smoothly transferred to the next years Committee. The tasks were schedule for a period of six months of work with the 2009 Participative Budget Surveillance Committee and six months with the 2010 Participative Budget Surveillance Committee. The goal was to ensure the continuity and sustainability of the process. The group succeeded in systematizing the experience in the book Participative Budget Surveillance System in the District Municipality of Laredo, which contains the basic components necessary for all acts of surveillance of the Participative Budget works, useful for other local experiences. The La Libertad regional group also held a seminar on the scope of the Participative Budget Act, as well as workshops on the reading and evaluation of technical files and citizen surveillance indicators, the Coordinated Development Plan (participation, surveillance, control, monitoring), and State hiring and procurement. At least five works selected from the 2009 Participative Budget were monitored and evaluated, and three informational bulletins were published. Furthermore, at the initiative of the 2010 Participative Budget Surveillance Committee of the district of Laredo, a blog was created at www.cvppl2010.blogspot.com, among other tasks. Unscheduled activities included the public presentation of the Coordinated Development Plan for the Region of La Libertad, introduced during a special workshop by the manager of the Regional Center for Strategic Planning (Cerplan), the economist ngel Polo; and
the granting of a Regular Attendance Certificate to 26 people who were present at over 75% of all training plan meetings. Also significant was the request made by these participants to sign an Act of Commitment to be considered Vigilant Volunteers in subsequent activities scheduled through the surveillance system currently under construction. While carrying out these tasks, the enthusiasm and close-knit atmosphere of the regional group was sustained right up until the end. A relationship of mutual trust was generated among all the members of the surveillance committees for the 2009 and 2010 Participative Budgets, which lasted for the entire duration of the project. Advance meetings have also been held with the members of the 2011 Surveillance Committee, who have asked for continued advice and mentoring. Despite the fact that the regional group accompanied the 2010 Surveillance Committee in the meetings with the mayor and municipal officials, which resulted in further questions regarding several of the works monitored, the positive relations and dialogue with the representatives of the local government remain strong. In its final report, the regional group mentions, among other obstacles and flaws of the project, the limited focus of the work. It states: Given that Laredo is a peripheral district, the group was unable to have the region-wide impact it would have liked, or establish alliances outside the district. However, the group has earned recognition in the district, but not in the city of Trujillo. It also notes problems and delays in designing the surveillance and control system. The La Libertad regional group was made up of Jos Mendoza Hernndez, coordinator of the governability area of CEDEPAS; the journalist Edgardo Prez Silva; Roxana Melissa Donet Paredes; and the student Deysi Carina Flores Vigo. Later on, they were joined by Luis Alberto Espejo and Marco Lujn of CEDEPAS, Andy William Flores and Csar Lingn from Lestonac and Carlos Flores Mera of the Chamber of Commerce.
Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Surveillance system proposal Latest progress: In this new stage, the Regional Anti-Corruption Core Group (NRA) is developing a project for the Strengthening of the Surveillance Committee for the Participative Budget of the Regional Government of La Libertad, as an instrument in the fight against corruption. In this case, the group seeks to intensify its first surveillance intervention in the district of Laredo, moving from a local to a region-wide impact. The idea is to replicate the successful experience of the core group in the district of Laredo in 2010 on a regional level, placing an emphasis on the surveillance of high social impact works prioritized in the 2011 Participative Budget. For this purpose, plans are in place for the validation and use of the Monitoring Tool designed by the group. The works selected for monitoring are as follows: Re-sanding of beaches in the districts of Huanchaco, Las Delicias and Buenos Aires Upgrading of the Santiago de Cao Cartavio road Upgrading of the health infrastructure and services in the district of Salaverry Currently, the core group is supported by institutions such as CEDEPAS Norte, ADS Lestonacc and the La Libertad Chamber of Commerce. It has also consolidated a strategic alliance with the Regional Participative Budget Surveillance and Control Committee. Attempts are being made to incorporate new actors such as the Universidad Privada del Norte (UPN) and the Santa Catalina Valley Youth Organizations Network. The groups main activities include: Training workshop on the Act for Transparency and Access to Public Information for actors responsible for monitoring, reading and evaluating technical files and State contracting and procurements Reconnaissance visits by the Regional Anti-Corruption Core Group to determine the physical state of the performance of the works Coordination meetings with the members of the Surveillance Committee for the Regional Government of La Libertad in order to get them involved in the activities of the project Work meetings with officials from the Planning and Budget Office of the Regional Government of La Libertad

I would like to work a bit more with young people. There is potential there. Due to the nature of our project, we did not do this, since it was not aimed at them. The issue of the fight against corruption and transparency is something that needs more work, more awareness among college students. Students who are going to become young professionals need a critical attitude. It is necessary to work on that. Very few things are done to try and influence this segment.
(Female, age 23, psychology student)
naturally, and thats contagious. I have a better foundation to understand and recognize acts of corruption, pick out the strengths and potentials of civil society. This motivates us and helps us continue on with our task.
LA LIBERTAD
I was able to verify that corruption occurs even among the lowest levels of State institutions, and those involved use a whole series of subterfuges. I am convinced of the need to work as a team, in a wellarticulated group with concrete goals and an ability to divide up tasks. We have seen that in the heart of civil society, there are residents who, regardless of their limitations, are contributing and doing so
At first, I had the idea that the fight against corruption meant denouncing and fighting with half the world, monitoring and going against the grain, causing problems. This initiative has given me a more comprehensive view: I know that this fight means monitoring, but not just for the sake of denouncing; its also to contribute and try and combat and mitigate the issue, working together and making proposals.

Contributions to citizen participation

The Anti-Corruption Network in the districts of Jess Mara and Pueblo Libre The Metropolitan Lima core group established an objective of Building and developing capacities in the participating agents of the Participative Budgets for the districts of Jess Mara and Pueblo Libre, to enable them to completely change their duties and monitoring role in 12 months. In its final report, the core group states that during the development of its initiative, it encountered difficulties. The first of these was the loss of two members. During the design process for the work plan, one of the members left, while another asked for a leave at the start of the performance of the initiative, thus limiting the continuous monitoring of the results of the work. On the other hand, states the core group, the Municipality of Pueblo Libres priorities in its Coordinated Development Plan, as related to the Participative Budget, made it impossible for us to intervene in that district. Finally, the Municipality of Pueblo Libre refused the support of the Lima group and carried out an irregular process for the 2011 Participative Budget. With regard to the other district, it reports that the Municipality of Jess Mara manifested its readiness to work together from the very beginning to train the agents of the 2011 Participative Budget. However, later on, it failed to demonstrate similar openness when providing information to the group. The group drafted three documents that seek to contribute to the monitoring work of the participating agents of the Participative Budget: a Comparative Report of the 2009 and 2010-2011 Participative Budgets; a Participating Agents Manual; and a Good Participating Agents Code of Ethics. The contents of these documents were elaborated mostly by the groups coordinator, the attorney Fanny Raquel Snchez Porras, and Jess Guillermo Arriaga Herrera, coordinator during the final stage of the initiative. The group also provided support to the Municipality of Jess Mara in organizing training workshops for participating agents. In its final report, the group also indicates that citizens are becoming more and more empowered each day, appropriating these spaces for participation. As a final stocktaking, it concludes that the more information and knowledge of the Participative Budget process becomes available, the higher the quality of the participating agents intervention will be with regard to the generation of proposals and their surveillance role.
In addition, the Municipality of Jess Mara, strategic allies included Frum Solidaridad, the Lima Network of Youth Political Actors and the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty (the latter organization during the final stage of the initiative). The group was formed by Fanny Raquel Snchez Porras, head of the citizenship and leadership area of the SEPEC; Jess Guillermo Arriaga Herrera, specialist in municipal management at CESVI; and Mara del Rosario Russi Riquelme, business administration student at the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences (UPC).

Its a topic that interests me, and Ive been applying it not only in politics, but also in cooperation and other spaces. Fighting against corruption is important for any management system to function effectively. However, this year I have been very busy, both at work and in my volunteering projects. So my participation in the network was limited, but it wasnt just me. In general, we didnt plan as a team on making alliances from the start, so that if team members left, as they did, other people could have helped to keep the process going.

Keeping an eye on the participative budget

Efforts to Strengthen the Surveillance Committees Under the slogan United for Transparency in Public Management, the regional core group proposed to develop a project aimed at strengthening the surveillance committees for the participative budgets of the province of Piura. The group trained these committees, providing technical monitoring and aid in the preparation of their reports. This project had an impact on the surveillance committees for the participative budgets of 2009, as well as 2010 and 2011. The result: these surveillance committees now have support from organizations (Group for the Promotion of Citizen Surveillance), as well as representatives from Neighbors Associations. In this task, the anti-corruption group received the invaluable backing of the CIPCA and the School of Communications of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education of the National University of Piura. In its final report, the regional group sums up the results as follows: a) The Surveillance Committee for the 2010 Participative Budget prepared and presented its report to civil society (Neighbors Associations) regarding the process of the 2010 Participative Budget in a period of six months. This committee had serious difficulties meeting up starting in July 2010 due to the fact that its president decided to run for election, as part of the list of aldermen backed by the mayor, who was running for reelection. b) The officials responsible for Transparency and Access to Public Information were educated on citizens right to access to information in ten months. c) The Neighbors Associations of the district of Piura received training on organization, with representatives chosen to take part in the Group for the Promotion of Citizen Surveillance, over the course of ten months. d) The Surveillance Committee for the 2009 Participative Budget prepared and presented its report to civil society (Neighbors Associations) with regard to compliance with the commitments assumed by the Municipality of Piura with civil society, over the course of one year.

The project was supposed to get underway by the end of 2009. However, unforeseen circumstances such as the wave of vandalism unleashed in Piura and the strike at the National University of Piura delayed the activities. On the other hand, campaigning for the election of the regional president and local mayors made it necessary to execute the project with a great deal of care, in order to prevent candidates from exploiting the space opened with civil society and using it to favor or attack the candidate from the Provincial Municipality of Piura. In addition to the CIPCA and the National University of Piura, where some of the members of the regional anti-corruption core group work and study, allies included the Radio Cutival project and DescoPropuesta Ciudadana. Some of the projects activities were also leveraged with financing from other cooperation agencies, such as the Basque government. The regional core group consisted of the university professors and communicators Mariella Barrientos Bentez and Alina Antn Chvez, as well as students Carlos Alberto Sandoval Torres and Cindy Elizabeth Chanduv Palacios. This group was later joined by Natalia Diana Guerrero Chiroque, Rodolfo Tvara Lama and Javier Gonzles Morn. Later on, Santos Oriana Nima Zeta, Juan Manuel Reyes of Radio Cutival, and Judith Merino Villagaray of Prisma also took part.

The anti-corruption core group is part of the Technical Commission of the Regional System for the Fight against Corruption, which coordinates its work with that done by the Regional Government of Piura, and especially, with the education sector. For the design of the curricular and pedagogic proposal on citizen education, the core group has formed strategic alliances with the Center for Research and Promotion of the Peasantry (CIPCA), Radio Cutival, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education of the National University of Piura (UNP), Centro Ideas, Visad Ayuda en Accin and Plan Internacional. As part of its agenda, the group has carried out the following activities: Two workshops (July 19 and 20) for the strengthening of the Regional Curricular Project, incorporating the contents of the Proposal for Citizen Education and the Fight against Corruption in Schools. One workshop (August 9) to fine-tune the teachers proposals, which was not planned in the initial project. One workshop with student volunteers for the monitoring of the activities carried out in the pilot schools. Creation of the Drafting Committee for the curricular and pedagogic proposal on citizen education in the basic regular scholastic curriculum (two meetings). Coordination meeting for public impact with allied organization on the preparation and presentation of the Regional Plan for Citizen Education and the Fight against Corruption in Schools. Press conference for the presentation of the Regional Proposal for Citizen Education and the Fight against Corruption in Schools (Citizen Surveillance: Participative Project for Citizen and Civic Education). Coordination meeting with allied nongovernmental organizations to mobilize the members of Local Educational Networks and coordinate the work in the intervention zone.
Its jurisdiction covers 1,147 schools in Piura, Castilla, Catacaos, Cura Mori, Canchaque, San Miguel de El Faique and Huarmaca.
Latest Progress: In 2011, the Piura Anti-Corruption Network executed a work plan aimed at combating deficient training in citizen surveillance through the incorporation of a pilot course into the Regional Curricular Plan of the Education Sector, making it possible to carry out a pilot in the schools of one of the Local School Districts (UGELs) with the highest number of

I feel motivated to continue on with the Network because of the impact on the people involved in the project. Despite the difficulties, it has been interesting to see how people have overcome their limitations and how, through their reactions, they have helped other people, civil servants and their colleagues to understand surveillance from a different perspective. People start to recognize that young people have the ability to participative, direct and be an active part of the process. As for the adults, it has been great to see how theyve improved in the management of information through the tools learned, how they have processed it and overcome their limitations.

I, as a student, hadnt gone beyond the issues I had heard about, but as a result of the project activities, Ive realized that the issue of surveillance is very important. If we neglect it, we lack the necessary foundations to exercise our rights as citizens.

For a more vigilant citizenry

The need to develop a culture of transparency A citizenry that is increasingly conscious, aware and vigilant of the actions and decisions of those in power was the most important result obtained by the regional anti-corruption core group, which carried out the project for strengthening the Surveillance and Control Committees for the 2010 Participative Budget of the Provincial Municipality of Puno. Thanks to this initiative, the Participative Budget Surveillance and Control Committees (central and zonal committees) have been strengthened, improving their level of organization and implementing rules for their functioning. These committees also have an ordinary monthly meeting calendar (for meetings held on the last Friday of each month), and plan quarterly actions using the 2010-2011 Work Plan. The actions of the Puno anti-corruption core group helped make the problem of corruption a widely-discussed concern on the regional public agenda, to the point that the recently elected authorities have committed to fight corruption on a regional and local level. In short, people have been made to see that there is more than one way to confront this social scourge, such as access to public information, the strengthening of surveillance bodies, and the development of a culture of transparency (through accountability and the promotion of values). To achieve these results, the Puno anti-corruption core group carried out different activities, of which its three training workshops were the most important. These workshops were: Strengthening of the Surveillance and Control Committees and a More Vigilant Citizenry in the Province of Puno (May 21, 2010); Right of Access to Public Information and Surveillance of the Participative Budget (July 12, 2010); and Proper Surveillance Strategies for Confronting Corruption (November 26, 2010). In the field of communications, a fundamental area for these types of projects, three radio spots were prepared and broadcast: Corruption has no shame; Corruption has no face, but it stays in your conscience; and Corruption: Demagogy and results. The allies of the anti-corruption core group, both in civil society and the State, consisted of institution committed to transparency in the use of public resources and citizen participation. The most notable of these allies included:
The Improving Municipal Investments (MIM) project of the Institute for Peruvian Studies (IEP) (executed by the regional coordinator, Pal Chata); CARE Per Regional Office Puno (regional coordinator: Ana Mara Benique); Decentralized Office for the Supervision of the Magistracy (ODECMA) of the Court of Appeals in and for Puno (head: Udelia Butrn). Other allies included the Ombudsmans Office (coordinator of the Puno decentralized office: Luz Herquinio Alarcn); the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty (technical secretary: Carmen Cazo Gutirrez); and the radio stations Onda Azul and Pachamama. Potential future allies include the SER Association, the Qollasuyu Network of Development Process Facilitators, and Global Humanitaria. Among State entities, the regional core group recommends forming an alliance with the Comptroller Generals Office of the Republic. The regional anti-corruption core group was made up by the attorney Edilberto Zapana, local coordinator of the Prisma Governability and Transparency Project; the media professional Yovani Manrique Ruelas, administrator of Radio Onda Azul; the social work student Candy Apaza Condori; and law student Krishna Espinoza Prez, both from the Universidad Nacional del Altiplano. Later on, the group was joined by Ana Mara Benique Gamarra of Care, Zezy Yadeyda Sardn Ari of the Womens Federation, Gustavo Alfredo Fernndez Asqui of Prisma and Paola Emily Vargas Palomino of the IQ Network.

As part of its project, the Puno Anti-Corruption Network has carried out the following activities: Eight technical assistance meetings with the members of the Surveillance and Control Committee for the Participative Budget of the Provincial Municipality of Puno. First preliminary report of the Citizen Surveillance Committee for the Participative Budget. Amendments to the Rules of Functioning of the Citizen Surveillance Committee. Four forms and certificates of project inspection. Anti-corruption workshop: Corruption: A Conceptual and Legal Framework, Effects and Strategies of the Fight against Corruption (September 24). Workshop: Transparency, Access to Public Information and Habeas Data (September 29).
Latest Progress: In 2011, the Puno Anti-Corruption Network, with the sponsorship of the non-profit association Prisma, has been implementing the work plan aimed at helping ensure the transparency of information on municipal management, particularly with regard to the investment projects prioritized in the Participative Budget of the Municipality of San Antn and the Municipality of Puno; as well as developing capacities and consolidating the surveillance committees. The regional core group has provided technical assistance to the members of the Central Surveillance Committee of the Provincial Municipality of Puno, fostering its institutionalization and effective surveillance of municipal management through the inspection of works, constant meetings and the drafting of the first surveillance report. They have also held an Anti-Corruption Workshop aimed at the members of the Youth Committee, made up of representatives from youth organizations and youth leaders.

It feels very good to be part of this effort. Whats more, the commitment is not just for this year. Our commitment is to continue mentoring the future classes from the second AntiCorruption School and keep drawing together the efforts of the Anti-Corruption Network. It needs to be understood that fighting against corruption involves working on initiatives for things like transparency, access to information, doing things well in public management, and I think its also a fundamental issue in the education of civil society.

Afjata is an Aymara word that means I support you and you support me, I help you and you help me, based on cronyism (). There is a chain of corruption formed around this issue.

In the case of young people, if we hold a political office or an important position, were not going to get involved in corruption because weve already prepared ourselves against it.
(Female, age 22, social work student)
Its not a finished process. The work of the AntiCorruption Network is a huge challenge. This year, we were dedicated to getting the issue of the fight against corruption onto the public agenda. It was put in the Regional Agreement, in some local agreements, and awareness has been raised on the matter. The population knows that this Anti-Corruption Network exists.

Control over the participative budget

A timid campaign without allies or continuity
The purpose of the project undertaken by the regional core group was to provide incentive for and strengthen the participation and surveillance of the Control Committee for the Participative Budget of the Provincial Municipality of Tumbes, including neighborhood leaders. In this region, civil society has not yet managed to develop representative organizations for the defense of its rights. This meant that the regional core group was forced to work practically without allies, in a very precarious situation. In February 2010, the conference on Participative Budget and the Fight against Corruption was held, with the participation of representatives from Protica in Lima, the Tumbes Bar Association (CAT) and the regional core group. For the Lupita campaign, the group succeeded in organizing a march for awareness through the city center, which enabled the population to give voice to its rejection of corruption, citizen insecurity and the indifference of many authorities toward these problems. Transparency was also demanded from the candidates participating in the regional and municipal elections in political debates organized in Zarumilla and Aguas Verdes. The regional anti-corruption core group was formed by Carlos Quiroz and Julio Chaparro of COBIMEP; the journalist Enrique Vizcarra; and the student Cindy Bances Silva. They were later joined by the attorney Jos Guillermo Lama More. Latest Progress: In 2011, the Tumbes Anti-Corruption Network has been executing activities that do not fall within the framework of a specific project. However, its interventions are aimed at raising awareness among the public opinion of the harmful effects of corruption on the region. Accordingly, the core group has carried out activities to build the capacities of civil servants and prevent acts of corruption, training and informing civil society of existing tools for the surveillance of public management. The group, currently made up of Lilia Snchez, Evaristo Loyola, Simn Quintana, and the student Walter Guerrero, is now backed by members of the General Workers Union of Peru (CGTP) Tumbes and the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty. It has succeeded in establishing alliances with the Office for the Supervision of the Magistracy (ODECMA) Tumbes, the Ombudsmans Office, the Students Federation of the National University of Tumbes, the Womens Network (Red de la Mujer) and the provincial CGTP. The group also has access to communication media such as the newspapers Correo, Tumbes 21, the television stations TV Norte 25, Cable Visin and En Contacto TV. Activities: Measuring Corruption in Tumbes public campaign (August 2011) Urban awareness: play put on in the main square of Tumbes (August 13, 2011) Informational Anti-Corruption Fair and presentation of Lupita (September 4, 2011) Ethics and Modernization of the State Seminar/Workshop (October 13)

This has been something very productive. We need to work based on a broad set of criteria to train leaders in our communities, who then train other young people, making a chain reaction. This way, the goals that Protica is trying to achieve will be within reach of the vast majority of people.
I feel motivated to continue in the Network because Im studying Law and Id like to fight corruption from that standpoint, starting with the areas of my major to put a stop to corruption in the judicial district of Tumbes.

Transparency in food programs

Soup kitchens and Glass of Milk under surveillance in Chachapoyas After performing a diagnosis of the situation, training beneficiaries and students, and coordinating with the public officials responsible for the soup kitchens and Glass of Milk programs in the city of Chachapoyas, the capital of the Region of Amazonas, the tools for improving the use of these social programs were established. The purpose of the initiative consisted of ensuring that the process for the distribution of food destined for the programs in question is carried out transparently, under the surveillance of the beneficiaries. Likewise, the project sought to build the capacities of the beneficiary public with regard to mechanisms for requesting information on the products received and subsequently performing surveillance during the distribution process. Accordingly, activities included surveillance exercises (surveys and surprise visits), visits to suppliers (in the district of Molinopampa, where the fresh milk is produced, and the municipal warehouse), and youth workshops (two presentations in the University Prep Center). Micro-programs and radio spots were also produced and disseminated, as a result of creative workshops, and informational pamphlets and posters were designed and distributed. The results were partial: the surveillance committees did not begin functioning, but the beneficiaries of the food programs succeeded in using the mechanisms to determine the adequate or poor conditions of the products delivered to them. The initiative also raised awareness among the beneficiaries with regard to their rights and the need to complain when those rights are violated. As an alternative strategy for the future, the regional core group recommends strengthening the management committee and the supervisory secretariats that already exist in the grassroots organizations found in the settlements and neighborhoods that benefit from the food programs. Previous to this strengthening, it is necessary to reactivate the committee and the secretariats (for which purpose it will be useful to have met and identified mothers willing to work on these issues). The management committee lacks the capacity to coordinate with the grassroots organizations. It could also coordinate its surveillance work with the sectors and try to maintain the beneficiaries well-informed, watching out for the improved functioning of the program.
When the radio spots began to be broadcast, the Municipality distanced itself from the initiative. On one occasion, a package of banana meal was received on which the expiration date was clearly previous to the delivery date. In response, the Municipality simply claimed that this was the result of a typographic error. The work team also verified that the positioning of the fight against corruption in the region is quite low: social programs are not a topic of interest among citizens. As a result of the diagnosis, it was determined that Chachapoyas, despite its weak social fabric, does in fact meet the conditions for working to the benefit of the quality of life of its inhabitants. However, with the exception of the Municipality, no other institutions expressed interest in carrying out the fight against corruption. The Amazonas regional core group of the National Anti-Corruption Network was formed by Carol Ruz, on behalf of Calandria; the journalist Percy Tuesta; and the students Elsa Espinoza and Pedro Culquimboz. Special assistance was provided by the students Robert Jackson, Royler Yalta and Hber Yplac of Toribio Rodrguez de Mendoza University. The team was later joined by Keylith Margarita Vsquez Daz of Calandria, Graciela Blanco Hauchecome of IIA, and Khatterin Asunta Torrejn Zelada of the IQ Network. Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Report on risk of irregularities in the Glass of Milk program Latest Progress: In 2011, the Amazonas Anti-Corruption Network has carried out a work plan aimed at helping ensure the transparency of the selection process for seeds and the hiring of personnel for the Tilacancha Special Reforestation Project in the Province of Chachapoyas. The goal of this project is conduct surveillance actions to ensure transparent processes that respect the purposes and meet the objectives of the project. The Regional Anti-Corruption Core Group is backed by important institutions from the region, such as the Calandria Communicators Association, the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute/Nature & Culture International (IIAP/NCI), the IQ Network, and the Students Federation of Toribio Rodrguez de Mendoza University. Alliances have also been established with the Regional Environmental Commission (CAR), the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty (MCLCP), and the district municipalities involved. As part of its activities, the group has carried out the following actions: Actions to influence authorities of the Regional Government and district municipalities Discussion group with inhabitants of the District of Magdalena Anti-Corruption Fair in the main square of the city of Chachapoyas

I dont think its easy to fight against corruption, but it will be possible in the future, especially with the young people and children who are being trained and made aware. This involves society and the State (the honest people) working together with the media.
(Female, age 24, tourism student)
I understand democracy as the power of the people and as a representative power. However, with corruption, democracy is stunted. So if corruption is not eliminated, we cannot have a true democracy in our society.
(Male, age 23, nursing student)
AMAZONAS
In a democracy, we could continue eradicating corruption. But we see that although were in a democracy, there is corruption. And since its rooted in every sector, its hard to eradicate. Starting with school, we see it everywhere, and fighting it is going against the grain. But all the same, medium- and long-term tasks can be set, raising awareness among the population. On the radio, we try to tell people that there are tools for monitoring, whether individually or as part of an organization, to demand transparency, even if it seems impossible at times.
I do feel like part of the AntiCorruption Network, mainly through the webpage we use to communicate with everyone from other regions. It tells us about what theyre doing and lets them know what were doing.

The press and the monitoring of corruption

The misuse of public resources as the subject of journalism workshops At first, the Lambayeque regional core group proposed to monitor the performance of the mayors and municipalities of Monsef, Pomalca, Zaa and Santa Rosa, with the participation of youth leaders from these zones. Unfortunately, the limitations inherent to small towns soon became apparent, where family relations and friendships among the majority of the inhabitants make it difficult to carry out citizen surveillance. Likewise, things that were initially considered a strong point, such as the support from the Community Development Center of Universidad Seor de Sipn, could not be used to the groups advantage, since the Centers work was focused on domestic violence. This issue proved too different from the activities proposed by the anti-corruption core group. The group also perceived a lack of motivation in the fight against corruption among the youth of Lambayeque. They were aware of the problems in their districts, but they didnt have the strength to take charge of the situation. In search of other paths, and determined to complete their mission, the Lambayeque regional core group reformulated its initial proposed and began working with the School of Communication Sciences of the Universidad Seor de Sipn on specific cases of corruption denounced by the press in the districts of Monsef, Pomalca, Zaa and Santa Rosa. The activities scheduled consisted of opinion polls on corruption, the review of news articles on corruption, and the monitoring of the denunciations for corruption in the four districts in question. All of these activities were carried out as part of the Journalistic Production and Writing Workshop III in the abovementioned university. Simultaneously, a short film contest was held to motivate and raise awareness among communication sciences students and local journalists of the importance of remaining alert in the face of corruption in order to denounce and combat it. The opinion poll on corruption was conducted on July 11, 2010 in the districts of Zaa, Santa Rosa, Pomalca and Monsef, with aid from the Opinion Center of Universidad Seor de Sipn and the participation of 15 students from the Journalistic Production and Writing Workshop III.
The monitoring of specific cases of corruption as part of the journalism workshops gave 12 students, in the first instance, and later eight more, a close-up view of this social scourge. They confronted the local authorities, asking their opinion on the accusations, to which the authorities responded with hostility on finding themselves rebuked for their poor administrative practices. The Journalistic Production and Writing Workshop III performed an analysis of the contents of 189 articles published in the local press on the issue of corruption (from June 1 to 30, 2010), verify poor journalistic practices and severe limitations in the coverage of the matter. The short film content (Cortos de Vista, or Short-Sighted) aroused high expectations among communications students. It was promoted in Chiclayo, Trujillo and Piura. The participating films were shown as part of the short film festival held annually since 2007 at Universidad Seor de Sipn. This time, the festival included the category of Corruption, in which seven films participated. The short films were shown to full houses at Cineplanet in Chiclayo. The winner received a S/. 1,000 prize. In its final report, the regional anti-corruption core group concluded that its activities, although modest, were effective in contributing to an interest among young journalists in the fight against corruption. The progress made was somewhat limited, making it difficult to determine how much was achieved. As for the students from Universidad Seor de Sipn who took the workshops, they came away with concepts and tools for identifying corruption, but they still need further incentives. What is missing is for this training to be translated into hands-on exercises, the group reported. The Lambayeque regional anti-corruption core group was made up of Luis Alarcn, registrar of the school of Communications of Universidad Seor de Sipn; the journalist Larceri Daz; and the students Ximena Melndez and Karl Torres. This team was later joined by Lorella Otiniano, Manuel Antonio Bazn of USS, Carlos Contreras of COSDEJ and Paola Rentera of Centro Esperanza.

helped disseminate the results of the surveillance activities and raise awareness among the population regarding the importance of citizen surveillance. Likewise, the Red Alertas web platform (designed as part of the experience from the previous year) is being used to involve grassroots organizations and local collectives/NGOs in the surveillance of the works executed by the Provincial Municipality of Chiclayo, as well as the denunciation of acts of corruption. The group has succeeded in forming strategic alliances with Universidad Seor de Sipn, the Ombudsmans Office, the Corruption Prevention Network (RPC) Lambayeque, and the Commission for Solidarity and Development of Justice (COSDEJ). As part of its intervention, the Lambayeque AntiCorruption Network has carried out the following activities: Reconnaissance visits by the Regional Anti-Corruption Core Group to determine the physical state of the progress of the work. Invitation to university students from the Universidad Seor de Sipn (USS) to participate in the project activities and become allies. Invitation to the Provincial Municipality of Chiclayo, the Ombudsmans Office, the Corruption Prevention Network of Chiclayo, local grassroots organizations, neighborhood committees and others from the Pueblo Joven 9 de Octubre and Pueblo Joven Elas Aguirre to make the project a social event and participate in the activities and workshops. Invitation and coordination meeting with local journalists to spread the word on the project and add them as allies. Informational fair organized by the Regional Anti-Corruption Group as part of the project for the supervision of the physical state of the performance of the water and sewer works in the Pueblo Jove 9 de Octubre in Chiclayo. Training workshop on the Act for Transparency and Access to Public Information for the surveillance actors: The Role of State institutions and the Act for Transparency and Access to Public Information. Training workshop on the State Hiring and Procurement Act, using surveillance tools such as the SEACE, SNIP, SIAF, Participative Budget, etc.
Latest Progress: In 2011, the Lambayeque Regional AntiCorruption Network worked on a proposal for strengthening the participation and control of citizens aimed at avoiding or mitigating the risks of irregularities in the performance of works by the Provincial Municipality of Chiclayo. This initiative has been carried out with the help of the inhabitants of the Pueblo Joven Nueve de Octubre, where the work subject matter of surveillance is currently located (Improvement of drinking water and sewer systems and housing connections in Pueblo Joven Nueve de Octubre and Pueblo Joven Elas Aguirre in Chiclayo). This project is backed by certain media outlets in Lambayeque, such as the newspaper La Repblica, which have

We based everything on the principle that corruption does not allow for a fully democratic life. Because corruption is selfish: it benefits a person who doesnt deserve it, to the detriment of the majority, the people. Every time we encounter a case, we reflect on these issues, as well as citizen participation, or how little people get involved in these matters. The disconnection of the citizenry. Politics bogged down in its worst guise. (Male, age 42, communicator) I knew there was corruption in the State, but after this experience, I now have a better idea of where this corruption is concentrated. Im also more aware of who may be interested in this anti-corruption work. Because the majority of people are reluctant to get involved. We saw that in the invitation we made to journalists. Out of 30 media outlets, only 8 journalists were interested in participating. Its a little disappointing for someone who is studying Communications.
Your average citizen is afraid, too. Young people were hesitant because they had family members involved in the government in office.
Ever since I entered the AntiCorruption School, I was convinced that fighting (corruption) depended on understanding it better. People who team up and really give it everything theyve got can fight it.

Use of resources in schools

Building the capacities of the inspection committees The anti-corruption core group from the Region of Pasco undertook the initiative of Strengthening transparency in the use of school resources in the district of Yanacancha, which covered 12 kindergartens and primary schools. The strategy for meeting this objective consisted of building the capacities of the maintenance inspection committees, responsible for the management and monitoring of the resources of these educational institutions. The main result was the positioning of the issue of corruption as a social problem within the scope of the district of Yanacancha and, as a consequence, the presence of the anti-corruption core group in the district. This initiative will serve as a precedent, reference point and thematic and practical experience in the future for Yanacancha. After launching the proposal and making contact with the management committees, inspectors, heads of family and student representatives, the training seminar My Training Center is Transparent was held, aimed at explaining the objective of the task and the steps to be taken to meet the goals. The training seminar gave rise to the campaign NO to secrecy and YES to transparency in my school, which was monitored by the anti-corruption core group in each one of the schools where it was implemented, strengthening the initiatives for transparent management in the use of resources. Other meetings with school officials were aimed at strengthening instances for participation and surveillance, as well as the generation of alternative mechanisms for such purposes. The campaign was brought to a close by giving out awards to the most transparent management. It should be noted that at the start of the campaign, the principals of the schools expressed opposition to the proposals for participation and surveillance. The heads of family, for their part, showed little interest in the issue. The same indifference was displayed by other local institutions, with which it proved impossible to form alliances. The anti-corruption core group was formed by Jimmy Wilder Carhuaricra Quintana, representative of the NGO Prisma; the journalist Glober Hermot Torres Marchan; and the students Diana Carolina Quispe Huamn and Gilbert Silvio Martnez Castro.

This year, the network has developed an initiative that will consist of promoting an Observatory for transparency and corruption prevention in Pasco, making it possible to increase the visibility of risks of corruption and actions against corruption implemented in the Region of Pasco. The work will be carried out in alliance with a range of organizations committed to the fight against corruption in the region, and will include the publication of informational reports. To achieve these goals, various activities have been performed to date: Informational meetings to involve new organizations in the Pasco Anti-Corruption Network Capacity building in the following issues: - Transparency and accountability in State institutions - Modern civil service: The Civil Service Act regulating and guaranteeing the quality of State employees - State procurements and hiring

We could have positioned ourselves more, because we received an invitation from the Committee for Judicial Transparency, and they asked us to speak about this issue in Paucartambo, but time was a problem.

Public management and transparency

Training leaders in the District of Coronel Gregorio Albarracn The project, which was carried out in a term of 11 months, aimed to build the capacities of neighborhood leaders in public management and transparency in the District of Coronel Gregorio Albarracn in the Region of Tacna, so that they could better fulfill their role as monitors. With this goal in mind, the Tacna anti-corruption core group carried out its activities along two lines of action: training and dissemination, in addition to other significant, unplanned activities. As part of the focus on training, the group held six learning modules on the issues of regulations, public policies, human development, participative planning, citizen control and administrative systems. Simultaneously, through the other line of action, the group dedicated itself to placing the issue of corruption on the local agenda through radio programs, print bulletins, radio spots, press conferences and a blog (http://redanticorrupciontacna.blogspot.com) that featured updates on the activities of the regional core group and its allies. The Grafichanga and the Rompetrfico were two activities to raise awareness of the issue of corruption that helped participants spontaneously express their ideas on the matter through graphics and written language (slogans, phrases, thoughts, etc.). Seven thousand stickers were designed and distributed with the slogan Make honesty fashionable / Say no to corruption. Unplanned activities that contributed to the goal of the Tacna regional anti-corruption core group included the 1st Multi-Disciplinary Seminar on Civil and Criminal Law (October 30, 2010), and the Transfer of Municipal Management training workshop (November 19, 2010). This latter activity was promoted by the Anti-Corruption Network, under the responsibility of the engineer Elizabeth Alarcn. In summary, the anti-corruption core group was well-received by the population of Tacna, the strategic allies made a commitment to the project, and the media gave it significant coverage. The strategic allies included the Improving Municipal Investment (MIM) project, the Ombudsmans Office, the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty, the Judiciary, the Ministry of State, the Comptroller Generals Office, and the Ministry of Economy and Finance. In its final report, the group stated that the leaders prepared in the program for building capacities in municipal management have shown interest, capability and commitment to carrying out activities for the development of the district, including those from civil society as well
as State representatives, who have organized themselves to formally establish a group with legal standing. The Tacna anti-corruption core group consisted of the engineer Elizabeth Alarcn Choque of the Center for the Promotion of Women (Ceprom); the media professional Carlos Eduardo Helfer Bejarano; Jos Luis Feliciano Chipana, a communications student at the Universidad Privada de Tacna; and the computer sciences student Marivel Carolina Flores Cabrera. This group was later joined by the journalists Freddy Omar Salinas Medina and Paolo Mario Quenta Loza, as well as Noem Corina Yatto Becerra of the MCLCP.

In the School, they taught us that corruption is the misuse of power for ones own benefit. I thought corruption only had to do with money () Many of us who have been working here in Tacna want to keep moving forward.

The work will really be seen when they (the leaders trained) begin working. We need to facilitate the work that they want to carry out. The fruits of this
Ive gained knowledge I didnt have before, and Ive been able to share it with other people, which is a huge incentive to keep going with this. It was an excellent initiative to get people involved in the attempt to reduce or put an end to the cancer of corruption. Weve created a Network that runs parallel to the network of corruption that we cant see, confronting it with a Network that is visible. This initiative by Protica is really something fabulous.

Forged invoices in the education sector

A campaign for transparency in the use of public funds In 2008 and 2009, the Ministry of Education sent funds to the Region of Ucayali so that school principals, together with their respective school boards, could invest them in maintenance works for their institutions. In the Province of Coronel Portillo, each school was given resources ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 Soles. However, forged or false invoices were submitted to justify the use of these funds, while in other cases, the expenses were never accounted for at all. The parents in the province protested. Considering this situation, the Ucayali anti-corruption core group decided to carry out a project called For a Transparent Educational Process, which was aimed at shedding light on the management of the funds sent by the Ministry of Education for the repair and maintenance of school premises. As a result, it was possible to raise awareness among the educational community (teachers, parents, principals, etc.) of six schools selected from the Districts of Callera, Yarinacocha and Manantay, in the Province of Coronel Portillo, through a series of activities that included workshop/seminars, press conferences, informational articles, etc. The workshop/seminar with parents and principals of the selected schools, where details were given on the embezzlement of funds in the Education sector during 2008 and 2009, brought together 70 people, including teachers from other schools and officials from the national teachers union (SUTEP). With the active participation of the members of the Ucayali anticorruption core group, the Manual for the Correct Use of Funds was drafted, and later printed and presented as part of the Project Results Forum. The Manual was distributed to the six schools selected, as well as different strategic allies, such as the Ombudsmans Office, the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty, the Ucayali Regional Bureau of Education, the Coronel Portillo School District (UGEL), F y Alegra, etc. The press provided detailed coverage of each one of the public activities of the regional anti-corruption core group. Three radio spots on the fight against corruption were prepared and broadcast, and stickers were also handed out with the slogan Make honesty fashionable / Say no to corruption. The regional anti-corruption core group was made up of David
Al Chuquisuta Gonzles, representative of the NGO CAAAP; the journalist Walter Prez Mesa; and the students Paolo Mori Gonzles and Alexander Fasanando Riveiro. They were later joined by the journalist Santiago Prez Mesa and the nurse Karen Bardales. Diana Mori Gonzles, Angel Francisco Guisado Velsquez, and Jonel Manzano Meja from the Administrators Association also took part.

Its motivating to stand up to corruption, because corruption is growing by the day. We have to do everything possible to leave a better world for future generations.

Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Manual for the correct use of funds allocated for the preventive maintenance of schools Latest Progress: In 2011, the Ucayali Anti-Corruption Network was made up of the Amazonian Center of Anthropology and Practical Application (CAAAP), the Interquorum Network, the Indigenous Media Professionals Network, Al Da newspaper, the Youths for Human Rights group, and the Ucayali Administrators Association. During 2011, the Ucayali Anti-Corruption Network decided to continue with the same focus on the fight against corruption, with a proposal that complemented the previous one, entitled: Transparency and proper use of maintenance and repair funds for the schools of Ucayali, which has included the participation of students, with a bilingual intercultural focus in order to ensure the greater effect of the groups intervention. To date, activities performed include the following: Public presentation of the Ucayali anti-corruption project Seminar on Mechanisms of transparency in the use of funds for the repair and maintenance of schools Construction of a monitoring and evaluation instrument for the spending of school maintenance funds
I think the issue of corruption breeds a high level of misinformation, because it threatens freedom of expression, and frustrates the entire community where I live. Everything is stained by corruption. Very few people want to go looking for trouble. When these processes are promoted, they dont get involved.
The space is good, but we need more motivation. Time was our enemy, but we achieved what we set out to do: get the teachers together, speak to the media, have two respected representatives from the local press. These representatives gave the Network recognition and renown, because Walter, for example, is one of the main proponents of culture in the region.

Putting corruption in education in check

Citizen and teacher surveillance and awareness of the educational sector Under the inspired title of Putting Corruption in Education in Check, the Arequipa group established the objective of Reducing risks of irregularities in the 2010 teacher hiring process of the Arequipa Norte and Arequipa Sur School District. With this goal in mind, a strategy was set out consisting of promoting citizen surveillance and the awareness of officials and teachers from the education sector with regard to the project objective. It was decided to address this issue as a result of Report No. 147 of the Ombudsmans Office on corruption in education, which stated that the quality of education is the aspect most affected by acts of corruption, as in the case of bribes taken by teachers to pass students, the failure to use objective criteria when hiring or appointing teaching staff, the hiring of untrained teachers, etc. Luz Marina Huanca, the coordinator of the Arequipa group of the National Anti-Corruption Network, reported that the project has made it possible to go beyond just raising awareness, to concrete surveillance actions. In its final report, the group concludes that this experience was a positive one, in that it enabled the positioning of the project in the education sector, as well as the identification of the manifestations (classification) and risks of corruption in the teacher hiring process, building the foundations to continue on with this work. With regard to citizen surveillance, the project was an innovative experience that kept potential offenders on their toes and raised awareness among teachers and officials with regard to the need to put a stop to this problem, which affects the quality of education. The experience also contributed to the fight against corruption in general, joining other surveillance initiatives implemented in the region, while also motivating the participation of other organizations, particularly those for youths, in this task. The potential irregularities detected, according to the final report, may be summarized as follows: 1) Concealment of available jobs 2) Private awarding 3) Manipulation of time banks 4) Manipulation of the order in which job positions are presented 5) Excessive flexibility with regard to requisites and prohibitions established by regulations 6) Alteration, tampering and forging of documents
7) Alleged improper granting of bonus points for disabilities 8) Alteration of ranking One of the most significant conclusions of the group is that the task of surveillance should have been taken up mainly by the teachers involved in the process. However, it has been observed that these teachers show deficiencies when it comes to this type of practice, and are more concerned about getting the position than denouncing any irregularities. There also exists a fear of retaliation in future hiring processes and being perceived as problematic. On the other hand, the Active and Unemployed Teachers Association of Arequipa (ADCODEA) participates in the surveillance of the process. Although this is an important initiative, however, it is still an isolated example. In other activities, the group has developed communicational skills, particularly among the younger members, to raise awareness among the population of the fight against corruption. Activities of note include the launch of the initiative, where a human chess match was staged; the radio program Putting Corruption in Check on Radio Yarav; and the urban incursions during the Operation Lupita campaign. Internet spaces have been used to great advantage to disseminate the groups activities. They currently have a Facebook account and two active blogs: one for the project (http://jaquealacorrupcion.wordpress. com/) and another for the Arequipa Anti-Corruption Network (http:// redanticorrupcionaqp.wordpress.com/). The challenge is to keep these instruments active, in order to bring the nascent anti-corruption movement together. In addition to Luz Marina, the group was made up of Guiliana Gisella Quechu Chirinos, a media professional with experience in radio and television; the attorney Jess Edgar Augusto Coa Begazo; and Pamela Solanch Smith Castro, a law student at Santa Mara Catholic University. The group eventually included 18 youths, the majority of whom were members of the Interquorum Network. Among those who actively participated were communications students from San Agustn National University: Paola Katherine Vera Cruz, Andreina Huallpa Chahuara and Nieves Jenny lvarez Manuel. The surveillance core group was composed of Paola Raquel Chiuche Gutirrez, Jos Flix Villafuerte Mendoza, Alejandra Torrejn Llamota, Carlos Len Quispe, Danna Gabriela Castro Heredia, Vctor Ral Mamani Cutida, Jessenia Elena Benavente Begazo, Manuel Javier Apaza Salas, Livia Elba Tapia Quispe, Melissa Milagros Rodrguez Quispe and Juan Carlos Sencia Quispesivana. Later on, new members joined, including Carla Melissa Castillo Huaman of Labor, Daisy Milagros Luque Arapa of CEDER and Patricia Delia Pinto Arenas of DESCO.

The group has established alliances with the Center of Studies for Regional Development (CEDER), DESCO, the nonprofit association Labor, the Interquorum Network, Amnesty International Arequipa, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Provincial Municipality of Arequipa, the Ombudsmans Office and Radio Yarav. As part of its initiative, the Arequipa Anti-Corruption Network has carried out the following activities: Presentation of the project Recovering Transparency in the UNSA (July 26) Formation of the university surveillance core group Mapping of investigative groups of the UNSA 1st Training Day on The Peruvian State and Citizen Surveillance (August 26) 2nd Training Day on Ethics and Surveillance Mechanisms (September 3) Diagnosis on the use of canon in the UNSA 2005-2010 Awareness campaign: Day of the Anti-Corruption Expos (October 25) Forum: Use of Mining Canon and Royalties in Public Universities (November 4)
Latest Progress: In 2011, the Arequipa Anti-Corruption Network carried out the work plan aimed at promoting and optimizing the transparency of information regarding the allocation and use of the mining canon in the National University of San Agustn (UNSA), through different means. The group formed a multidisciplinary university surveillance core group with members from the investigative groups of the UNSA. They also held two training workshops on citizen surveillance and transparency mechanisms and carried out an awareness campaign aimed at university students. Recently, the core network prepared a diagnosis on the use of the canon at the UNSA 2005 2010, and is currently monitoring the investment of the canon in two emblematic cases.

Transparency in the hiring of teachers

An issue that was successfully positioned in the conscience of the community of Huamanga The members of the Ayacucho group took on the challenge of Contributing to greater transparency in the teacher hiring process for the 2010 school year in the Huamanga School District (UGEL). After performing a diagnosis of the main problems in the Region of Ayacucho, it was concluded that one of the sectors most likely to experience acts of corruption, due to its complexity and size, was that of education. One of the most common means used by corruption, due to the lack of transparent selection mechanisms, was the trafficking of open positions for teachers. The lessons learned at Proticas 1st National Anti-Corruption School demonstrated their efficiency in this experience. The group used tools such as communication in awareness campaigns, as well as the formation of strategic alliances and capacity building, to position the issue of the fight against corruption in the public opinion of Huamanga and generate consciousness of the form in which corruption affects the quality of education in the region. In order to achieve its objective, the Ayacucho anti-corruption group produced 22 radio programs and broadcast them on the most popular radio station in the Province of Huamanga: Estacin Wari (95.3 FM). The programs exposed the methods, causes and consequences of corruption in the education sector, oftentimes through interviews with people specialized in the matter. Radio spots were also broadcast, designed to raise awareness among the population on this issue. The group also successfully established strategic alliances with important actors such as the Ombudsmans Office, the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty, student leaders, workers unions and officials from the Education sector, in order to work together on the prevention and punishment of corruption. One of the main events put on by this group was the forum Effects of Corruption in the Education Sector, which brought together nationallyand locally-recognized experts such as Dr. Jos Ugaz, former AntiCorruption Prosecutor; Dr. Jorge Fernndez Mavila (Ombudsmans Office), and the professors Giden Bellida (education specialist from the DREA) and Cleto Falcn Pantigoso (from the Ayacucho Educational Workers Union SUTEA). This forum was also attended by Cecilia Blondet, executive director of Protica, and Pablo Rojas, president of the COMISEDH. The event aimed to influence the sectors interested in the fight against corruption
and the general public, along with discussing the magnitude of corruption in the education sector. Among the groups contributions, special note should be given to the preparation of the technical proposal for the strengthening of the means of transparency and access to information in the school district and the Ayacucho Regional Bureau of Education (DREA). The transparency website of the DREA receives frequent visits from the actors and users of the education sector in this region. According to the final report issued by the Ayacucho regional group, one of the factors that contributed to the success of the anti-corruption initiative in this area of the country was the prestige of Protica, which helped us form important alliances (SUTE Huamanga, DREA) and boosted our ability to attract participation in public activities. In the words of one of the group members, the journalist Mario Zenitagoya, Proticas backing of the Network meant that the population was much more open to us. The Ayacucho anti-corruption team was formed by Mario Zenitagoya, Elizabeth Castillo, Gandy Huaman and Ramiro Valdivia. The group was notable for its strong performance, the unity of its members, and the coordination with which the work was performed, all of which influenced the positive results of its initiative and positioning as the Huamanga Anti-Corruption Core Group. The Network was later joined by Jos Luis Aparcana of Tarea, Giden Bellido Miranda, Glery Karent Taipe Carrasco of COMISEDH, and the journalist Jorge Luis Alberto Carhuallanqui.
Anti-Corruption Tools Developed: Radio micro-programs and spots. Technical proposal for the DREA for the implementation of informative spaces and the strengthening of those already existing Latest Progress: In 2011, the Ayacucho Anti-Corruption Network set out the objective of ensuring the transparency of the procedures for the management of the assets, services and financial resources in public schools of the District of Ayacucho. To achieve this objective, the team conducted an opinion poll on corruption among teachers, administrative employees and students in two of the largest schools in the city, presenting the results to society in an orientation workshop. As part of this workshop, they also explained the scope of the Act on Transparency and Access to Public Information, as well as going more into depth on the main risks of corruption in the education sector. The team also actively participant in a work group formed this year in Huamanga among the principal civil society institutions for the fight against corruption.

As a professional, Ive chosen to confront this problem. As far as tools, it was thanks to the training that Protica gave us, more specifically the Anti-Corruption School, as well as the monitoring we received, which made us more aware and gave us many more tools to understand whats behind the corruption here in Ayacucho.
The training was very thorough. Protica also provided an abundance of information through materials and monitoring. In turn, the performance of the initiative has forced us to gather as much information as possible on the issue of corruption in the education sector.
(Male, age 24, anthropologist)
I hope the Network doesnt stop here, that it expands more and more. I want to tackle new issues, form new alliances and strengthen the networks.
We worked in a coordinated manner as a Network. The consistency and unity of the team was fundamental to be able to work with the other institutions, many of which were radical.

Prevention of cases of nepotism

An experience based in the Municipalities of Cusco and Coya The theme of the regional anti-corruption groups project was nepotism and mechanisms for avoiding it. It was carried out in the Municipalities of Cusco and Coya. The strategy consisted of providing information to authorities, officials, political parties, surveillance and control committees, and communication media on the process for the adequate and correct hiring of personnel. At the same time, efforts were made to place this issue on the local public agenda. In view of the objective set, the regional anti-corruption group developed a series of activities, most notably Operation Lupita, aimed at increasing awareness among citizens of the seriousness and honesty with which candidates fill our their election applications. The population responded actively, displaying an avid interest in this task of citizen supervision and, depending on the results of its investigations, expressed its discontent with certain candidates for regional and municipal positions. Also notable was the organization of a panel/forum and four training workshops on Prevention of nepotism and State procurement and hiring processes (one of which was led by Protica), aimed at representatives of political parties and candidates for regional and local governments, municipal officials and workers, and representatives of communication media in Cusco. The Anti-Corruption Festival was put on jointly with other institutions such as Calandria, the Bartolom de las Casas Center, Transparencia, etc., as part of the Know Your Candidate and Get Involved festi-fair. The regional and municipal candidates were given stands which they could use to announce their government plans to the population. There was also a theatrical presentation on cases of corruption, grafichanga, mimes, stilt walkers, anti-corruption films, and artistic presentations. The festival was well-attended by the public. The panel/forum on Nepotism and Corruption in the Public Sector, aimed at journalists active in radio, the written press and television, used deferred and direct interviews to help them express their concerns and interest in issues of corruption, and what is being done to combat it. A roaming microphone and interactive blackboard were set up in order to capture citizen perceptions and opinions on the issues of corruption and nepotism through on-the-spot interviews. Through the preparation and dissemination of informational materials (banner, bookmarks, press releases, giant posters, ring binders,
photocopies, CDs with videos, flyers, etc.), the population was made aware and consciousness was raised on the issue of nepotism. The impact in the communication media was obvious, above all on the radio program Somos Redes, hosted by Doris Corrales (a member of the Cusco regional anti-corruption core group), broadcast on Radio Universal. The anti-corruption core group established strategic alliances with RECOVIC, CBC Casa Campesina, the non-profit association Prisma, ESSALUD, the Regional Bureau of Education, journalists, the Ombudsmans Office, Transparencia, Asociacin Arariwa, APORVIDHA, the Coordinating Committee for the Fight against Poverty (MCLCP), the Local Supervision and Transparency Committee of the Juntos Program, Interquorum Network, Anta Provincial Youth Board, the Cusco Regional Youth Assembly, the Anti-Corruption Police, and the Government Attorney Generals Office. The final report by the Cusco anti-corruption group notes the obstacles confronted, including the lack of interest shown by authorities and officials in participating in activities addressing the issue of corruption; need for more participation on the part of the population and civil society in public activities; commitments assumed and not followed through on by some allies; and the natural disasters that affected a member of the regional core group. The Cusco regional core group was made up of Elena Canseco Ulfer, the journalist Doris Corrales Vizcarra and the university students Johel Velarde Rocca and Roy Valencia. Later on, new members joined the group: Iscra Mercedes Chvez of APORVIDHA, Marina Cuela Ochoa of Prisma, and Adolfo Echarri. Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Study on perceptions of nepotism and corruption through the public opinion of authorities, officials and inhabitants of Cusco Latest Progress: In 2011, the Cusco Anti-Corruption Network proposed to promote the importance of access to information and transparency among civil society and the officials of the Regional Government of Cusco. One of its first activities was to draw up a plan of influence on the Regional Government, together with all the institutions, both public and private, that make up the Anti-Corruption Network in the region. It was in coordination with these institutions that held a training workshop on access to public information aimed at civil society and officials from the Regional Government.

I think thats what the long-term success of the Anti-Corruption Network will depend on, in getting more people to join this fight and understand the problems that this issue creates in our country.

Huancavelica: General characteristics of the region

The first thing I learned in the Anti-Corruption School was not to be pessimistic about corruption. Its a hard job, but we can fight it little by little.
Sometimes I feel powerless, but I think its part of a process and were still at the beginning. Its true that many cases that go unpunished make us feel indignant, and that creates skepticism. Its very difficult to break out of that cycle.
Proticas work, I think, has gotten the ball rolling. Thats made me more optimistic.
Motivated, enthusiastic, very committed and with a sense of responsibility, because even though were only the first class, I have to pass on my experience so that the people to come are more cautious and learns from our errors.

A frustrated experience
Authorities wallets should be made of glass In Huancavelica, 2010 was declared the Year of the Fight against Corruption. At the beginning, this measure created great expectations among the population, but as time went on, it resulted in a debilitated sense of trust and a huge lack of support for the Regional Government. One of the aspects most questioned by the population was the signs of corruption existing in the hiring of personnel (in all different methods) in the Regional Government. As a reaction to this situation, the Huancavelica Association of Micro and Small Enterprises issued a public pronouncement accusing the regional president and various public officials of favoring companies and persons with ties to the current administration and its political movement in public bidding processes. The communication media also frequently reported on cases involving the irregular hiring of personnel. Against this backdrop, the anti-corruption core group in this region carried out an initiative to address the problem of Frequent irregularities and corruption in the hiring of personnel in the Regional Government of Huancavelica. As part of its diagnosis, the regional group concluded that the role of civil society with regard to the issue showed lackluster levels of participation and control, given the practical inexistence of civil society institutions or social organizations engaged in the prevention or headon fight against these irregularities. The consequences of this set of problems are diverse: ill-suited people occupying public positions, deficiency in carrying out duties, and the decreased prestige of public institutions. However, after identifying a case involving apparently irregular hiring practices by the Regional Government, which seemed like a promising start, the group members found themselves facing personal and professional challenges, and the group was dissolved for all practical purposes, cutting the initiative short. The initial group was made up of David Lloclla of ASIDEH, the journalist Tania Torres, and Dennis Giraldez, a student. In 2011, a new core group was formed, including Judith Amaranto Huiza Soto, Juan Elisban Paytan, Gissela Ottone of DESCO, and Humberto Lizana. This group has been working on the dissemination, use and strengthening of access to information through municipal transparency websites to improve citizen surveillance and participation in the towns of Huancavelica.

I realized that I couldnt take responsibility for others actions As much as I would say, We have to do this, we have to do that, they would reply, We already know how to do all that, and that really put a damper on things I feel bad because I did not meet the objectives. I would have liked to, even if it was on my own
First, I got interested in the issues we addressed at the Chupaca - MacroCenter School. Second, I saw that if we did not do this regularly, the same thing was going to happen as with the previous projectsnothing. Now I feel like I have more strength and capacity to get more people involved

No to the use of public assets and resources for proselytism

A warning to authorities running for reelection Ica: the land of Abraham Valdelomar, pisco and Peruvian paso horses. Here, the regional anti-corruption core group set itself the task of preventing the use of public assets and resources for purposes of proselytism by mayors running for reelection in the Province of Ica and the District of Pachactec. With this general objective in mind, other specific objectives were established: consolidate and strengthen spaces of citizen surveillance in said municipalities; persuade authorities running for reelection to engage in neutral and respectful behavior in order to ensure a transparent electoral process; and commit local communication media in the search for a clean municipal management through its supervisory role in the community. Over the course of 10 months of work, the Ica team developed a series of activities aimed at meetings it objectives. Thus, coordination was performed with different actors from civil society and the public administration, such as the Interquorum Network, the Journalists Collective, the Health Centers, the Coordinating Committee, the defense fronts and surveillance committees, all of whom are active in the Provincial Municipality of Ica and the District Municipality of Pachactec. The work with these organizations gave rise to the Corruption-Free Reelection surveillance committee. Additionally, a significant number of media professionals and journalists not only reported through their respective media on the activities of the anti-corruption group, but also collaborated on the design of a joint agenda on the search for a transparent municipal management. This task included the participation of local television channels 35, 31, and 39; and radio stations Radio Luren, Radio Carolina, Radio Rumba, Radio Sistemas, La Mega and Radio Continental. From the written press, La Voz de Ica and La Opinin also took part. Along these same lines, and with the contributions and advice of some communicators, the blog (http://redanticorrupcionica.blogspot.com) became an important media outlet, as proven by over 1,000 visitors interested in informing themselves on the activities of the National AntiCorruption Network.
The campaign was kicked off with the regional forum Contributing to an Election Process with Informed Citizens, followed by a series of awareness workshops with different sectors of society from the Province of Ica and the District of Pachactec. A wealth of informational material was produced specifically for these workshops. However, the Ica regional anti-corruption group was unable to get the local authority to sign a commitment to avoid the use of public assets and resources in proselytizing campaigns for their reelection. This forced the regional core group to improve its levels of coordination with the Ombudsmans Office and the Special Electoral Board (JEE) for the development of joint activities aimed at safeguarding the neutrality and impartiality of said authority. The anti-corruption work group was formed by Oscar Salas, representative of the NGO Codehica; the journalist Martn Flores; and the students Marleny Garca Medina and Zulay Araceli Aldoradin. Volunteer participants included Karen Bendez Castillo, Nohelia del Carmen Figueroa and Juana Gutirrez. Later on, the group was joined by Nathaly Ochoa from the IQ Network, Mara Elena Gamero of the Journalists Collective, and the district leader Hernn Jess Cantoral Peralta. Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Training workshops aimed at leaders and civil society Latest Progress: The objective of the Ica Anti-Corruption Network for 2011 is to decrease the risks of corruption in the local governments of the Region of Ica through monitoring and demanding accountability, as well as promoting ordnances approving the accountability process. Through a thorough study based on surveys with officials from six municipalities, spread out among Pisco, Nazca and Ica, the anti-corruption team prepared a diagnosis on the local governments and some provincial governments that have ordnances on accountability. As a result, it was found that out of the 10 municipalities studied, only three municipal ordnances were detected that regulate and/or govern the accountability process. However, none of the municipalities has complied with the processes set forth in said ordnances. As part of the groups achievements, the work being performed by the Network in the Region of Ica has made it possible to discover political goodwill on the part of certain municipalities and authorities, such as the Provincial Municipality of Nazca, the District of Pueblo Nuevo (Chincha), Parcona (Ica) and Tpac Amaru (Pisco). Thus, the team, working jointly with the authorities and members of civil society, has drafted an accountability ordinance to be passed by said municipalities.

I feel especially strengthened by work, because its given me proof of that reality. There are many important issues to work on, because its a very specific field, very focused, where we have to work so that the perception of municipal management takes a turn for the better.
If we dont keep going with this work, everything weve done in the last few months will be for nothing.
I would like to do a type of comparison with the other experiences, to see how positive our work has been. Obviously, each situation is different, but I think its important for the work done here in Ica to be disseminated nationwide, for the other groups to hear about it.
For me, its been an experience that has allowed me to learn and understand many things. It has been a challenge because putting corruption on the agenda is really complicated. I looked at it as a personal and professional challenge. I feel satisfied, content.

Im realistic. I dont think well put an end to corruption this year or the next, but I do believe in our work and that is reinforced every time I hear someone who cant stand corruption. We have to build up that commitment among the population. (Male, age 43, journalist)
Its been a fulfilling personal experience, in that it has helped me to coordinate with other institutions in the region, which I didnt do before, on a professional level. Secondly, it has given me a reputation as a person concerned with the fight against corruption in the region, and that has been a result of my work with the network. (Male, age 35, attorney)

Public resources and election campaigns

Promoting citizen surveillance against corruption through La Voz de la Selva Despite certain problems of cohesion experienced by the Loreto regional anti-corruption core group, an ambitious, significant and highly demanding project was undertaken: the promotion of citizen surveillance to avoid the use of public resources in election campaigns in the towns of San Juan, Beln, Punchana and Maynas. The strategy consisted of training local leaders and journalists in the regulations prohibiting and sanctioning the use of public resources in election campaigns, and encouraging the denunciation of these cases of corruption. These denunciations would be made public over the radio, specifically the station La Voz de la Selva, and would be formally directed to the Special Electoral Board (JEE) and the Government Attorney Generals Office for sanctioning. With this objective in mind, the regional anti-corruption core group carried out a series of activities, including a workshop for journalists on citizen surveillance of public resources during election season, which brought together approximately 40 media professionals, and was held in the auditorium of the Vicariate. The workshop included presentations by experts on the issue, such as Percy Medina (Transparencia), Manuel Rodrguez Rengifo (ONPE), Enrique Pinedo (Government Attorney Generals Office) and Lilia Reyes (Ombudsmans Office), among others, whose knowledge of the issue was enlightening to all in attendance. The regional anti-corruption core group participated in a fair in Plaza 28 de Julio, where the population was invited to raise awareness of the importance of denouncing the use of public funds to finance the campaigns of authorities running for reelection. 10% 43% 45% This event brought together the authorities of Punchana and San Juan for the signing of an Act of Commitment, in the presence of the Chief Justice of the Loreto Court of Appeals, the president of the Board of District Attorneys, the representative of the Ombudsmans Office and the representative of the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE). Three training courses were held for the leaders of grassroots social organizations in the Districts of Punchana, Beln and San Juan; radio spots were prepared and broadcast (over La Voz de la Selva, which played an important role in the project); and a campaign was carried out to collect denunciations, which would then be processed with the Ombudsmans Office. The most significant denunciation was that of ads painted using public resources in Maynas. The insistence of the regional anti-corruption core
group got the Ombudsmans Office to act. In the end, the painted ads were erased. In its final report, the regional core group admitted that its members were not as tightly-knit as necessary, more dedication to the project was necessary, and there was still a need to seek out support from other organizations. The Loreto regional anti-corruption core group was formed by Oraldo Retegui, director of the radio station La Voz de la Selva; the journalist Darwin Paniagua; and the students Salvador Lavado and Gabriel Almeida (the latter only temporarily). Later on, they were joined by Elix Sergio Vidales of CAAP, Carmen Rosa Martnez of Prisma, and Carmen Rosa Arvalo of the Vicariate. Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Workshop on citizen surveillance of public resources during election season Latest Progress: The objective established by the Loreto AntiCorruption Network for 2011 is to train and raise awareness among civil society leaders, professionals associations and journalists regarding the importance of access to public information in the Regional Government of Loreto on the resources from the oil canon. To achieve this goal, the team carried out joint works with strategic allies, such as the economist Roger Grndez (director of the Loreto Economists Association and representative of the SPDA in the region) to design the training module for access to public information in the Regional Government of Loreto, placing an emphasis on the management of resources from the oil canon. This material has been used in the training workshops for journalists and civil society leaders. Additionally, in alliance with key institutions such as the Peruvian Society of Environmental Law (SPDA), the group put on a forum on the topic of 40 years of oil extraction in Loreto.

Citizen surveillance and transparent justice

Social auditing of the Judiciary The Moquegua regional core group undertook a project focused on the province of Ilo, aimed at carrying out social audits of the Judiciary and the Government Attorney Generals Office in order to instill trust among the population in court decisions, while in turn informing citizens in an innovative way on local cases of corruption. Social auditing consists of processes by which citizens influence public management in order to ensure the provision of more efficient services that better meet their demands (World Bank). The regional core group performed important work to ensure the impact of the project, as well as the involvement in the social auditing project of the Government Attorney Generals Office, the Judiciary and Jos Carlos Maritegui University. Despite all the efforts made, the Government Attorney Generals Office rejected the proposal to work with the regional core group of the National Anti-Corruption Network. The Judiciary accepted, and although no agreement was signed, the judges proposed that work be done on the basis of a verbal agreement, which they complied with. The regional core group, in coordination with the transparent judges (the group of volunteer judges willing to disseminate their decisions among the citizens), and with the collaboration of volunteer law students, implemented the social auditing project in the Judiciary. The advisory services of Dr. Eddie Cndor of the Andean Commission of Legal Scholars (CAJ) were important to this process. In terms of raising awareness, the group invented a slogan that had a significant impact on the population: Ilo needs upright citizens. Say no to corruption. This slogan was disseminated through stickers, and is still visible in certain public places in this southern Peruvian port town. A flyer was also designed in allusion to a highly-publicized case of local corruption. One fundamental tool in the development of the project was the creation of the blog http://grupoiniciativaanticorrupcionilo.blogspot. com/, dedicated to disseminating anti-corruption information and the news on the projects progress. It was also used as a platform to disseminate the Operation Lupita campaign. To date, the blog has received 7,702 hits. Keeping this blog updated was mainly the task of Luis aupas, a member of the regional core group of the Network. The publicity spots were among the most effective dissemination tools.
The use of social dramas was important for sending a clear and easyto-understand message. The technique consisted of using everyday events so that people could identify with them. It is interesting to note that the spots were made by the group members themselves, along with volunteers, who lent their voices and acted for the spots, thus bringing the regional core group members closer together. The core group, with the support of the Ratio Juris Law Students Association of Ilo and the Surveillance Committee for the Participative Budget, conducted three opinion polls to collect information on the populations perception of corruption, expectations for the new government, and the performance of the Judiciary in the fight against corruption. The results were disseminated through the blog. In its final report, the core group concluded that the project was a learning process, to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the prior knowledge of each one of its members. The regional core group gradually grew, until comprising 14 members and volunteers. One of the activities that most influenced this influx of new faces were the meetings with members from different parts of the country (Lima, Cusco, etc.) to attend presentations with a high level of anti-corruption information and knowledge. The invitations to the members of the core group to give presentations in other towns were also a good way to attract members to the regional core group. The work of systematizing the court judgments as part of the social audit of the Judiciary was a task that required a great deal of time, despite the fact that the judgments had already been digitalized. Just receiving them via the internet was in itself something sui generis. The allies who collaborated on the execution of the anti-corruption initiative included the Ilo Attorneys Association, Amnesty International Ilo, Jos Carlos Maritegui University, the Surveillance Committee for the Participative Budget, the volunteer members of Ratio Juris (interested in working on anti-corruption issues). Special recognition goes to the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals in and for Moquegua, Alfredo Salinas, who joined in the social auditing project. Five more judges from the judicial district of Ilo later expressed their interest in also participating in the project. The communication media who supported the project included Radio Americana, a true ally in the fight against corruption which provided spaces for dissemination, as well as Radio Altamar and Radio Expresin. The regional anti-corruption core group was made up of Luis Alonso Ortiz Peralta Murillo, an attorney and specialist on influence at the non-profit organization Labor; Luis Carlos aupas Aza, a social leader from Ilo and president of the 2011 Participative Budget Surveillance Committee for the Provincial Municipality of Ilo; Flor de Mara Flores Niebles, a law student at Jos Carlos Maritegui University and currently a registrar of the Provincial Municipality of Ilo; and Lizbeth Maquera Conde, an environmental engineering student from Moquegua National University.

Later on, the group was joined by Juan Ziga Rodrguez from Labor Ilo, Consuelo Edith Cama Mamani of the Loyola Center, and from the generation of new leaders, Reyner Jonathan Jimnez Bernaola. Anti-Corruption Tools Developed: Opinion polls on corruption, Report on social auditing of judges from a judicial district Latest Progress: In 2011, the Anti-Corruption Initiative Group, with the backing of the Ilo branch of the non-profit organization Labor, executed the work plan aimed at ensuring that the citizens of the Province of Ilo have an anti-corruption observatory and demand adequate and transparent selection and hiring processes for human resources to strengthen the quality of management, democracy and citizen participation. The regional core group invited and trained a group of university students and strategic allies. Recently, it held the Forum on Citizen Surveillance of Public Management for the prevention of corruption, aimed at civil society in the province of Ilo. The group is currently designing the Opinion Poll on Corruption and preparing the launch of the Anti-Corruption Observatory. The group has formed alliances with the Regional Government, the Surveillance Committee and the Executive Committee for the 2012 Participative Budget, as well as the Local Coordinating Council of the Provincial Municipality of Ilo, the Neighborhood Committee Union, the University Students Environmental Network and the Ombudsmans Office. As part of its initiative, the anti-corruption core group has carried out the following activities: 1st training workshop on transparency and corruption with volunteers Work meeting with strategic allies of the project 1st transparency workshop with beneficiaries of the Juntos program (September 18) Forum: Citizen surveillance of public management for the prevention of corruption (September 28) Campaign for the dissemination of the fight against corruption

Theres always room for improvement, but I think our intervention was positive. We would have liked to do more and we will. We need to insist on not getting tired out with one yearlong initiative, because we want to make this sustainable.
One of our objectives is sustainability. We have to continue on as an AntiCorruption Network. That is our commitment.
Thats the most interesting thing, knowing that there are people in other places interested in the same problems and who want to do things right. It is not just an isolated action. Its something organized nationwide.

POLITICAL CONSENSUS Junn: General characteristics of the region

Close-Up: Region of Junn
Anti-Corruption Tools Developed: Political anti-corruption pact, Guidelines for a regional policy against corruption Latest Progress: The National Anti-Corruption Network is represented by the Junn Regional Anti-Corruption Group, comprised of the Interquorum Network, the Humanist Center for Artistic Expression (CHEA), the non-profit association SEPAR, and the Crnika Journalists Association. The Regional Anti-Corruption Group carried out the regional initiative Toward a Political Anti-Corruption Pact in Junin during 2010, taking advantage of election season to achieve dialogue and consensus on the guidelines for a binding regional anti-corruption plan with regional political actors. In 2011, after achieving the Junn Political Anti-Corruption and Good Governance Pact, the Junn Anti-Corruption Network will work on promoting the institutionalization of the policy on transparency and access to public information, as well as fighting for the prevention of corruption in the regional public management of Junn. As part of these efforts, it will undertake the initiative A Transparent Junn: Strengthening Transparency and Access to Public Information for the Prevention of Corruption in the Regional Management of Junn, to be carried out between July and November. This year, the following activities have been performed: Presentation of the project to the organizations of the Junn Regional Agreement Workshop for the drafting of guidelines, goals and indicators for the Supervision and Monitoring Committee Drafting of a proposal on regional regulations that guide and guarantee the compliance with the Act on Transparency and Access to Information 2nd Anti-Corruption Festival, which mobilized and raised awareness among local citizens with regard to the benefits of transparency and access to information to reduce corruption in public management
Toward a political anti-corruption pact

For good practices of governability in the region The Junn region has precedents when it comes to processes of dialogue and cooperation. The most important of these was the Regional Governability Agreement signed in 2006, which incorporated the fight against corruption, among other issues such as competitiveness, decentralization, the environment and children. The 2006 Regional Governability Agreement is officially recognized by the Regional Government and the National Accord. Junn is a region with a series of different problems. In political terms, it is suffering a widespread crisis of representation, as well as precarious state institutions with high levels of corruption. Civil society only has access to weak mechanisms of participation, dialogue and reflection. It is for this reason that the Junn anti-corruption team set out to strengthen the dialogue, cooperation and commitment of political actors with regard to the regional anti-corruption agenda and practices of governability in the public management of the region. The team carried out a series of actions aimed, first of all, at relating with and raising awareness among the population on the issue of corruption, forming bonds with potential local allies from civil society. The Anti-Corruption Festival included the participation of musicians from different genres, visual artists, graffiti artists, poets, members of a variety of public and private organization and civil society. It was a festival without precedents in the city of Huancayo. The second objective of the team was to place actions against corruption on the public agenda. For this purpose, a series of local civil society organizations, led by the Junn core group of the National Anti-Corruption Network, drafted and proposed a Governability Agreement for the Regional Development of Junn (2011-2014), which was adopted to by all the political parties and organizations that participated in the 2010 regional elections. The next challenge faced by the regional core group is to monitor this Agreement and ensure it is complied with. This ambition task will include obtaining the commitment of the 33 organizations, both regional and national, that currently make up the Support Group for the Junn Regional Agreement. The Junn core group was formed by Ana Margot Espejo Lpez, coordinator of the governability area of SEPAR; and by the media professionals Gonzalo Betalleluz Uchiri, Yadira Tarazona, Elena Beatriz Pacheco Mandujano, and Csar Armando Muoz Or, spokesman of the Interquorum Network Huancayo. Additional participants included Santos Porras Ordez and Wilber Huacasi Huamn.

One significant TESTIMONIES AND EXPERIENCES contribution of the experience is that

in terms of awareness, a favorable public opinion has been generated through the Anti-Corruption Festival. The support of young people and cultural actors was fundamental. At this stage, their leading roles were really important, and we feel its an important channel for putting problems like this on the public agenda, in a creative and different way (Female, age 38, NGO It was something novel for the whole Region of Junn for the issue of the fight against corruption to be positioned like this, because there were no institutions or social organizations involved in the fight against corruption With this initiative, ideas have been generated for the fight against corruption in the region, where there was previously a negative image.

EXCESSIVE FEES IN SCHOOLS Cajamarca: General characteristics of the region

Close-Up: Region of Cajamarca
Excessive fees in schools

Institutional weakness in the fight against corruption The regional anti-corruption core group perceived the existence of corruption in the education sector in Cajamarca. For example, textbook vendors often hold positions in the school district (UGEL) administration. One example of the institutional weakness of the sector is reflected in the fact that over the last year, the director of the Regional Bureau of Education has changed seven times. Additionally, there is the problem that parents assume that the charging of certain (excessive) fees is normal, and that they must be paid so that their children will be accepted to the school and may study. The education sector has been somewhat abandoned, both due to institutional weakness as well as a lack of citizen control (by parents), given that the majority of civil society organizations have concentrated their efforts on the fight against poverty. The regional anti-corruption core group formulated a project aimed at fostering transparency and surveillance of excessive fees in the schools of Cajamarca, particularly fees related to enrollment, textbooks and uniforms. More specifically, after adjusting the initiative, the group sought to have an impact on the educational community with regard to the problems created by these types of fees. The strategy implemented involved the performance of a diagnosis of the situation, first of all, based on the reality of 10 schools in Cajamarca (San Ramn, Santa Teresita, Carducci, Beln, Champagnat, Juan XXIII, Dos de Mayo, La Merced, Inmaculada Concepcin, Cristo Rey), whose students, teachers and parents responded to a survey on the issue of excessive fees. The responses were used to prepare a baseline. After the project and the results of the diagnosis were presented, it seemed that things were well on their way. But when it came time to take the next steps, neither the authorities nor the rest of the educational community wanted to commit themselves to the issue. Without the support of these actors, it was impossible to achieve the objectives set. Radio and television spots prepared by the regional anti-corruption group were broadcast in an effort to raise the awareness of the community on this issue. A contest was organized among the different school districts (UGELs) of Cajamarca, consisting basically of sharing experiences
of transparency in the processes for enrollment and the purchase of textbooks and uniforms. Entries were received from representatives of just three schools. The projects development revealed that the UGEL does not have sufficient authority to lead an initiative in the fight against corruption like the one proposed. As part of its self-evaluation, the regional anti-corruption core group realized that it would have worked better as a team if it had received support from more civil society and State organizations, as well as achieving more internal cohesion. The Cajamarca regional anti-corruption core group was formed by Mara Elena Ortiz, representative of Prisma; the journalist Andrs Caballero; and the students Alex Aquino, Hrico More and Ana Cecilia Salazar. They were later joined by Juan Arrivasplata Sangay, Ftima Lorena Bazn Aguilar of the IQ Network, Ghissela Elizabeth Aguilar Roncal of CEDEPAS, and Martha Carrasco. Anti-Corruption Tool Developed: Survey on excessive fees in schools Latest Progress: In 2011, the Cajamarca Anti-Corruption Network implemented an initiative entitled Strengthening Transparency in the Environmental Impact Assessments of the Province of Hualgayoc through the Empowerment of Civil Society, which will improve the levels of transparency and access to information in the process of environmental impact assessments based primarily on citizens right to participation in mining activities, as a measure for the prevention of corruption. The Cajamarca Anti-Corruption Network is formed by Cedepas Norte, the SER Association, the Hatn Per Association, and the Interquorum Network. To date, they have carried out the following activities: Presentation of the project to local authorities in the Province of Hualgayoc Workshop on the Right to Participation in the town of Bambamarca, attended by authorities, representatives, leaders and civil society An awareness campaign has been commenced through radio spots on local stations regarding the importance of monitoring environmental impact assessments Construction of a citizen surveillance instrument for environmental impact assessments

I think its possible (to fight corruption) when we join forces, when there are clear goals, when you work as a team with conviction, to improve peoples quality of life, to make sure rights are respected Its incredible how deeply-rooted the corruption is in the education sector. Its like the officials are blindfolded. Ive seen proof, and when I went to the UGEL, the officials protected those schools. There was a case where they told a student that if she kept participating in the anticorruption group, they were going to expel her. Theyre afraid in the regional government, because they dont know who to put in the Regional Bureau (of Education), because they dont think its possible to fight the corruption that exists there.

Weve always talked about this reality in my family. We continue questioning the education sector. I have two siblings who are teachers. My sister is applying for a job at the Technical Production Center,
I think someone who doesnt know how corruption is seen from different viewpoints can always be manipulated or vulnerable to temptation because he knows that he wont be punished. But a person who has been educated on this matter knows that he needs to assume it as a way of life. It is possible to fight it. This experience helped raise awareness among some people and helped them pick a side. These are lessons that raise your self-esteem, like when they locked up Fujimori and Montesinos.

MONITORS

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
obstacles are beyond the reach of the institution and the duties of the monitor to be able to resolve them. Its important to note that a monitor must have a clear overview of the regional context, as well as each one of the team members. This helps the monitor promptly identify weaknesses and strengths in order to take the necessary measures.
We understand that the best thing to do to strengthen the Network is to call on civil society institutions instead of individuals. Since involvement is voluntary, personal participation does not guarantee long-term sustainability. What are your proposals or projects for the future?
What is your assessment of the performance of the regional anticorruption core groups for the 2009-2011 period? Why are some core groups more efficient than others?
Promoting the strengthening of the Network is one of our short-term goals. We are currently providing training on transparency, accountability, and civil surveillance to new local actors who will expand and invigorate the Network. We also feel that we need to conduct more research that helps us to understand corruption in different cultural and economic contexts. Given that corruption is a social problem, we must all get involved in the fight against it. From our position as monitors, we can support innovative initiatives such as local systems or campaigns against corruption, depending on the degree of consolidation of the regional core group.
The Contribution of the Monitors

To guarantee the success of this project, we were supported by a team of young professionals who took on the challenge of assisting the regional groups, traveling throughout the entire country with their backpack of knowledge and instruments to build and support the Network and motivate the participants to keep moving ahead. It was critical for them not to fail, for the participants to never get discouraged, and to make sure of that, the monitors never rested. The technical team from the School monitored the development of these initiatives over team and provided support, both via email and in person, until the work plans were completed. They also required, as part of the training in anti-corruption practices, strict accountability on the activities performed by each work group: training, marketing of the actions undertaken, public presence in local forums, publications of informational and didactic materials, and visits to other locations. In addition to formally keeping an eye on the commitments and objectives, the monitors work helped sustain the link between the groups of the Network and strengthen the anti-corruption management of its members.
prevention of corruption, as well as experience in the management and cycle of projects, with a strong emphasis on development and interdisciplinary processes. What does a monitors job consist of, specifically? When does a monitor intervene? 1) It consists of identifying and calling on actors in each one of the regions to form part of the regional core groups. 2) Give them advice on the design, implementation and execution of the regional initiatives. 3) Guide and monitor the activities designed by the teams. 4) Be the communication channel between the regional groups and the institution, in this case, Protica. 5) Solve internal problems in the core groups. 6) Identify and generate strategic alliances with institutions to strengthen the Network. 7) Develop strategies to promote the sustainability of the Network. 8) Prepare reports containing technical data on the activities implemented by the regional core groups. 9) Make periodic visits to each one of the regions to strengthen the institutional bond with the counterparts, as well as to participate directly in the events put on by the core groups. 10) Motivate all the members of the regional core groups to remain active in the Network.
We think the performance of the core groups was optimal, and that individual and group capacities and commitments to the fight against corruption were strengthened. However, a basic assessment has shown differences in the performance of the teams, which are related to: Institutional strength and backing Strong social fabric Cohesion of the teams Commitment of the members to the fight against corruption
With the exception of Lima, where the main government offices are located, which of the countrys zones have the highest levels of corruption? What factors explain this? The link between poverty and corruption, the weakness of public institutions, and the lack of a solid civil society shed some light on this question. As a result of our experience and the data obtained in the 6th National Anti-Corruption Survey conducted by Protica in 2010, we have identified that certain regions such as Huancavelica, Madre de Dios and Apurmac show a high perception of corruption, probably due to the abovementioned factors. However, there are cases of regions that receive significant transfers of resources from the mining canon, such as Ancash, Cajamarca, Tacna and Moquegua, which are also very vulnerable to corruption due to weakness in the control of the use of public resources.

The Protica monitoring team gives details on its work
What is the responsibility of a monitor in the case of those regional core groups that never manage to fully form or which fall apart or do not achieve their objective? First of all, the monitor has to do everything thats within her possibilities or the possibilities of the institution to make sure this doesnt happen. However, there are particular circumstances in each region and each one of the teams, such as the social fabric, institutional weaknesses, and a lack of commitment and time on the part of the members, just to mention a few. Lets not forget that participation in this Network is voluntary, and does not pay. All these
What adjustments need to be made in the organization and functioning of the National Anti-Corruption Network in order for it to grow and expand its influence? Based on our experience, we can pinpoint certain lessons learned. First of all, we believe that to expand and strengthen the Network, it is necessary to call on local institutions that are strategically positioned in their regions thanks to a proven track record. We feel it is vital to form alliances with institutions that have a certain degree of presence and prestige in the region, as well as members with recognized moral solvency.

What professional qualities does a monitor need? A monitor needs to be well-educated, sensitive, with a commitment to the field of social work, since its a job that involves a direct relationship with people from different social, cultural and economic backgrounds. They also have to know how to use tools for transparency and the

TESTIMONIES I think the AND EXPERIENCES anti-corruption

I remember the experience we had with the whole team in Cusco. The night we assessed our presentation in Cusco, we had a catharsis that helped get to know one another, because we all have weaknesses and at some point, you might hurt someone else. We all ended up crying, laughing.
Splitting up and getting together again to grow. When one plus one is three.
The participating members were able to develop a sense of unity and belonging to the Network. They recognized themselves as part of a nationwide effort. There is no doubt about the fact that a sense of integration and belonging was imparted. Participants expressed their interest in continuing with their work against corruption because of everything they learned, and the feeling of doing something important for their country.
The participation in the MacroRegional Meeting in Cusco and the School in Lima create these bonds, which are just starting to be created, the idea of a national collective starts to germinate.

network is an interesting space because it allows for: 1) training; 2) experience. It has potential for those looking to participate in politics. I think its important for the Network to be in all the regions, that there are groups operating throughout the country, but it needs more coordination and communication.

MACROREGIONAL MEETINGS
Initially, we identified more with the project than with the Network. After the assessment in Cusco, we tried to reorient ourselves and create an identity around the Arequipa AntiCorruption Network. Thats why we created the email account and blog.
When we went to Yucay, in Cusco, we didnt know what t-shirt to wear during our presentation to the groups. I had a hat that said Ilo, and that made me stand out. After our colleagues from the Macro-South region voted, we ended up winning the event.

Operation Lupita was my favorite, because the whole group gets together and decides whos going to where the costume and hand out flyers. Its interesting, because you see the mayors and you dont look at their profiles, their backgrounds. I think these impact initiatives reach people more.

The Anti-Corruption Network as a Source of Information
Investigative Journalism Workshop On April 12 and 13, 2010, Protica organized a workshop for journalists and other media professionals who are members of the Anti-Corruption Network, entitled Investigative Journalism, Access to Information, and Communication Techniques to Improve the Dissemination of the Networks Products, under the responsibility of experts from the Press and Society Institute (IPYS). The goal of the workshop was to provide participants with tools for investigative journalism and access to information, as well as incite debate on the role of the media in the fight against corruption. This event also included the preparation and dissemination of campaigns in the media in an effort to promote a culture of supervision and surveillance of public offices through responsible journalism and the press. The goals of the workshop program were as follows: - Strengthen the bonds for teamwork among the journalists and media professionals of the Network and the IPYS to address issues related to journalistic supervision of public officials and the fight against corruption - Prepare an agenda of possible issues to investigate, which may be published in the local and national media, with the consultancy and monitoring of the IPYS - Stimulate Network members to become experts on the use and application of the Act on Transparency and Access to Information, in order to obtain information that helps them to better supervise public administrations - Equip the participating journalists and media professionals with journalistic tools to better cover topics of local and national interest related to the fight against corruption (including ethical fundaments, investigative journalism, access to information, the legal framework of freedom of expression, and mechanisms of protection for journalists) IPYS debated with the participants on issues related to journalistic ethics and cases of corruption in the press. Presentations were made on communication techniques to make sure that certain topics, campaigns and products prepared by a collective achieve the expected impact.
LUPITA CAMPAIGN
when we supported the Lupita campaign, when we held the municipal debate with the participation of Susan Villarn and Iberico. A friend from SEPEC wore the costume and we couldnt figure out how to get her up on the stage because she couldnt see well, and she was really short, too. In the end, we carried her up onstage and took her picture with Susana and Iberico.

The regional core groups of the Anti-Corruption Network constantly provide information to the local media while implementing their work plans. In many cases, the core group itself included journalists who have their own radio or television shows, or opinion columns in the press, making communication with the media even easier. In other cases, connections have been made with local media and a space has been gained where it is possible to disseminate the activities and results, on one hand, and opinions on the local corruption situation, on the other. Another strategy has been to create high-impact activities that are naturally covered by the local media, particularly activities with the involvement of the public, such as fairs, marches, etc.

The Lupita Campaign

The Creation of an Anti-Corruption Heroine Between July and October 2010, during the election season for regional and municipal authorities nationwide, the Protica National Anti-Corruption Network kicked off a highly creative and imaginative communication campaign, under the title of Operation Lupita: Keeping an Eye on Candidates Profiles. The objective of this campaign was to raise awareness and provide incentives for interest among voters in reviewing and supervising the profiles or affidavits that must legally be submitted by candidates running for public office subject to popular vote. In other words, the campaign sought to confirm the accuracy of the declarations made by the candidates regarding their background, their activity or profession, and their properties. Along the same lines, an effort was made to set precedents for helping improve the quality of political candidates. For this purpose, the anti-corruption heroine Lupita was developed, named for the giant magnifying glass (or lupa, in Spanish) she uses to scrutinize people under investigation. During this election season, stated the campaign presentation, Lupita will concentrate all her efforts on finding out what measures the candidates propose for the fight against corruption, and exposing any contradictions she may detect in the profiles submitted to the National Electoral Board (JNE), demanding explanations. The campaign was spearheaded by the anti-corruption core groups from the 24 regions of the country, plus Callao and Metropolitan Lima, although it worked better in some regions than others. There was a certain level of interaction with the JNE during the campaign, as well as the Informed Vote project, which helped disseminate a video on frequently asked questions about the candidates profiles, a new supervisory instrument. In different cities around the country, the anti-corruption core groups disseminated the proposal and the objective of Operation Lupita, participating in marches, events sponsored by the JNE and civil society organizations, and through radio spots. Once they found out about Lupitas mission, interested citizens used the email address to submit their denunciations to Protica. There was a bit of everything, from politicians or candidates who denounced their competitors, to questions regarding candidates profiles, as well as concerns, complaints and profanity-laced diatribes against corrupt politicians. The denunciations against candidates that met the requirements of Operation Lupita were processed by the Protica team, which investigated them and searched for additional information via the internet. When satisfactory data was gathered, articles were written and put up on the Lupita blog (lupita.pe). Taking stock of the Lupita experience in the 2010 regional and municipal elections, it may be concluded that significant interest was shown in this type of communication channel that links citizens with the State and public opinion. The campaign revealed that there are voters interested in the profiles of the candidates, who send emails with their denunciations, asking for follow-up and demanding a response. From another angle, it was found that certain politicians saw the Lupita blog as a new tool to be used during their campaigning. But the most important conclusion of this experience is that Lupita showed us the potential that a communication campaign has for monitoring or supervising different aspects of public management, increasing the interest and participation of the community.
When we launched the initiative at the press conference, the journalists were of the idea that the fight against corruption meant throwing corrupt people in jail. That was the expectation. Sometimes journalists and regular people dont quite understand the role of the Government Attorney Generals Office or the Judiciary in processing corrupt people, and our role as a civil society is to denounce, to inform.

Lupita Asks To be discussed in future elections: The obligation to report final and binding sentences is not useful, because anyone who has been found guilty cannot be elected, but those who are currently party to a trial are not obligated to declare so. Which should take priority: information or respect for the principle of presumption of innocence? The education and work experience to be declared may be selective in practice, depending on what it is in the candidates interest to make public or hide. Should there be parameters? The information on estate and income is not obligatory. Should it be?

We decided to identify ourselves as a protransparency group so they wouldnt get scared. The word anticorruption is very confrontational and intimidating. The word corruption scares people, it doesnt let you create empathy or provide incentive for participation.

What about the Cat in the Dark? Popular Characters and Everyday Language In its first phase, Operation Lupita was an experiment. Essentially, the idea was to use a character who could become popular, incorporating everyday language that might provide an incentive for broad sectors of the population (workers, housewives, students, wandering vendors, etc.) to get involved. For a variety of reasons, these sectors sometimes feel excluded from the debate on topics of national politics. Due to her special design, Lupita is an attention-grabbing character. Her magnifying glass says a lot about the kind of work shes dedicated to. After all, scrutinizing candidates profiles can be something important but, at the same time, fun. Along these same lines, Protica created another character: the Gato Encerrado (literally, shut-in cat, from a common Spanish idiom similar to saying theres something fishy going on in English). The cats characteristics: it hides in the dark, i.e., in mountains of red tape, in paperwork lacking all adequate controls. Its always on the prowl, ready to sink its claws into the resources of the Peruvian people. It flees from Lupitas magnifying glass. The everyday language we hear in the streets, with its wise sayings and ingenious expressions, also acts as a great help in these kinds of communication campaigns. Protica has adopted some of these sayings as slogans, such as, He who has nothing to hide, has nothing to fear; Put yourself under the magnifying glass and Ill tell you what kind of person you are; and If theres no transparency, theres something fishy going on.
Disseminate the creation of the National Anti-Corruption Network and School. One of the main activities of the Festival was the building of the Mural of Decency, a graphic allegory created by 10 young visual artists from the Catholic University, the School of Fine Arts, and female graffiti artists, all under the direction of the painter Marcelo Peirano. The public observed the artists step-by-step as they went about their work, using acrylic paints on a canvas measuring 6 x 2 meters, and 20 cm deep, where they captured different motivations behind the fight against corruption. While the Mural of Decency was being created, on the stage set up in the center of the Malecn Castagnola a musical festival was taking place, with the energetic performances of groups such as La Sarita and Los Heraldos del Cerrito. The dance activities were presented by the choreographer Mirella Carbone, who danced a fragment from Marguerite Duras Eden Cinema, under the masterful direction of Alberto Isola. The Compaa Sangre Flamenca, directed by Cathy del Sol, also gave a performance. Special mention should be given to the presentation of The Sacred Convent of Pataclaun, directed by July Naters, whose actors gave life to characters such as Ima Victim of Corruption, Ima Corrupt Person and Ima Part of the Fight against Corruption, who acted out a highly educational and entertaining plot. In the video-tribune, another of the Festivals spaces, a discussion group was held on the topic of corruption, with the participation of the director of Protica, Cecilia Blondet, the former Public Prosecutor Jos Ugaz, and the writer Rafo Len. The event was attended by over 600 people, and 237 citizens signed a petition for the repeal of the statute of limitations on crimes of corruption.
WHAT ABOUT THE CAT IN THE DARK? 2011
The 1st AntiCorruption Festival

A Festive, Youthful Way to Raise Awareness and Communicate Values In September 2009, on Malecn Castagnola in the District of Magdalena del Mar in Lima, the 1st Anti-Corruption Festival was held, organized by Protica. This Festival was a spirited and, above all, youthful way of helping to raise awareness among the population regarding the issue of corruption and the possibilities that civil society has of denouncing and eradicating it. Thus, the fight against corruption left the halls and corridors of the government offices and courtrooms for a few hours and took a stroll outdoors, explaining its goals with music, dances and other artistic and cultural activities. As the organizers of the Festival, we set out three specific objectives: 1. Disseminate frequent situations of corruption that occur in Peru, indicating the spaces and actors; 2. Raise awareness among the population on how corruption affects the countrys development; and 3.
Peru Needs Upright Citizens

That was the motto of the Anti-Corruption Festival. Protica made t-shirts, aprons and pins with slogans such as Make honesty fashionable; I dont pay bribes not today, not tomorrow; and Peru needs upright citizens. Other spaces attended by the public included the Mini Book Fair and the Food Festival. The Anti-Corruption Festival was advertised a total of 35 times through different communication media (written press, television, radio and internet). The event was also covered by over 20 websites, Facebook pages and blogs.

Using the Web 2.0

From the start, Protica predicted the important role to be played by information technologies, the internet and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter in the gestation process of the National Anti-Corruption Network. And it proved to be right. It was online communication that enabled the Network to develop and reach a surprising level of unity. The website was designed as a meeting center where professors, students, journalists and activities can meet to fine-tune their projects and find answers to their questions. The goal is for it to become a space for dialogue and reflection.

LESSONS LEARNED AND PERSPECTIVES
Pragmatism on one hand, and idealism on the other, to forge a consolidated Network
Without Logistics, There Are No Actions Anti-Corruption in 26 Regional Core Groups As part of the campaigns against corruption, whether for the organization of the School, the Network of regional core groups, contests or events, the Protica logistics department plays a fundamental role. Without its support, these projects would never make it further than the planning stage. This department is responsible for acting as a go-between, preparing the activities, administering and distributing economic resources, and providing material tools, among many other things, so that the projects may become a reality and translate into actions. Its duties are varied and indispensable. In a way, it could be compared to the nervous system of the human body. Without it, the projects just would not work. In Protica, the experiences of organizing the 1st National Anti-Corruption School, the National Anti-Corruption Network and the Lupita campaign proved the importance of logistics in carrying out these projects, while also helping to systematize and fine-tune its mechanisms of action. General Guidelines Logistics takes the form of a work plan or agenda which, generally speaking, covers the following steps:
1. Communication: The call to action for the performance of a project. Depending on the specific case, this may mean using everything from the telephone to a printed brochure or flyer. The department also keeps personnel up-to-date on tasks to be performed, the duty assigned to each one of them and the meetings scheduled. It is a never-ending, everyday task. 2. Budget and administration: This involves the management of the economic resources used to cover the costs required for the performance of a project. This task includes everything from requesting or obtaining those resources, through their administration, and ends with strict accountability. 3. Go-betweens: Logistics coordinates and mobilizes the different sections of Protica to bring a project to life. Communications are coordinated with secretaries, the budget with administration, etc. 4. Infrastructure: Logistics is responsible for establishing a fully-equipped, comfortable and safe physical space (office, auditorium, hotel, etc.) to house the participants of a given activity. 5. Work materials and tools: This is the critical task of supplying the work materials and tools that will be necessary to perform a project. It ranges from providing a single pen or notebook, to vests or furniture, or even a movie projector. 6. Transportation: Logistics is also responsible for providing transportation, for both human resources and materials. Anti-Corruption School The Administration and Logistics department of Protica cut its teeth on the organization and start-up of the 1st National Anti-Corruption School (see Chapter 2), a project that included a theory component (in-person classes) and a hands-on part (fieldwork over the course of 14 months). For the development of the theory classes, which consisted of a training seminar on the topic of corruption through seven days of inperson classes, a residency was organized that required the groups established in the regions to come to Lima. This part of the logistics, once a budget had been established, involved tasks of communication, coordination with the regional groups so

that they could participate in the activity on the date set, and the hiring of mobility (tickets) to get them to the capital. Meanwhile, it was necessary to rent out a locale that met two special conditions. First, it had to be used as lodging for the Schools participants. And second, it had to have areas where conferences, workshops and other activities could be carried out. The locale chosen was the Beln School in the District of San Isidro. Providing didactic materials to students and professors was another task assigned toLogistics, which worked closely with the administration section of Protica. Logistics also had to make sure that meals were available for the Schools participants (it was a five-day residency), as well as coordinating and guiding their leisure activities and transport around the city. The fieldwork, which each group carried out over the course of 14 months in their respective regions, involved other tasks for the Logistics department, which were performed in coordination with the monitors. National Anti-Corruption Network The National Anti-Corruption Network mobilizes human groups from the 26 political regions of the country. This work is directed and coordinated from the Protica offices in Lima through five monitors (social researchers). Coordinating the activities and supplying work materials to 26 human groups dedicated to the fight against corruption requires orchestra-level functioning to keep up on the needs of the regional core groups through direct communication or through the coordination work of the monitors. The regional core groups are provided not only with work materials, but also institutional information, legal counseling (when their members are denounced by the institutions being investigated), personalized technical assistance (through the monitors), etc. Logistics attends to each one of these requirements, channeling them to the appropriate area. Operation Lupita Carrying out this campaign meant creating a physical version of the character, a doll with an oversized head armed with a magnifying glass, designed to grab peoples attention. It was also necessary to mobilize human groups to public places, supply them with t-shirts, whistles, printed material, etc. Logistics also had to create and manage different electronic tools such as email addresses, websites and blogs, in order to receive the denunciations from the community and publish the details on the investigations into each one of them. All of these demands were covered. It took a lot of effort, but the Logistics department never gave up.
CORRUPTION: GLOBAL TRENDS AND THE SITUATION IN PERU Notes from a Master Class by Dr. Jos Ugaz at the National Anti-Corruption School
Dr. Jos Ugaz started off his intervention by declaring that the definition of corruption is not an easy one. The World Bank defines it as obtaining personal gain as a result of the abuse of a public duty. This definition is based on the scope of public functions, but corruption in the private sector is also quite prevalent. He stated that for the purposes of this meeting, he preferred to cite the definition of Alfonso Quiroz, a Peruvian historian who teaches at universities in the U.S., and is the author of a book entitled Circles of Corruption. In his definition of corruption, said authors considers the following elements: It involves the misuse of a position of bureaucratic or political power. We should add economic power to include corruption in the private sector. It involves the overlapping of cliques among public and private agents. There is a goal of illegal gain. A corrupt person pursues an unlawful benefit to which he/she does not have the right. The appropriation of public funds or the distortion of policies and institutions. Corruption thus consists, said Dr. Ugaz, of the use of bureaucratic or political power in order to obtain an unlawful benefit through the appropriation of public funds or the distortion of policies and institutions. Corruption has been around since colonial times, since the viceroys would buy their way into the position, and then had to recover their investment in the colony. This has been corroborated by Antonio de Ulloa, who came to Peru on a mission. In 1749, he wrote the Discourse and Political Reflections of the Kingdoms of Peru, wherein he warned that there is no way to counteract abuse and corruption. The corregidors kept two sets of accounting books, an old practice in accounting fraud. When the corregidors were subjected to their trial of residence at the end of their term in office, they would bribe the officials. There is not a single case on record in which a corregidor was punished after a trial of residence, according to Dr. Ugaz. He then went on to explain the formation and operation of a vast network of corruption during the government of Alberto Fujimori, and its arms in the communication media, the Judiciary, the Government Attorney Generals Office, the Congress, and the Executive Branch where the State was overtaken by corruption. This shows the levels that may be reached when corruption is tolerated, with the loss of the ability to feel outrage, surprise, or confront this problem. He recalled that it was during the transitional government of Valentn Paniagua when the conditions were established for the implementation of an anti-corruption system, creating a legal framework and fostering institutional strength for such purpose. Anticorruption laws were passed and intensive work was carried out with international cooperation. There is a tremendous challenge here. Peru ranks in the lower half of a table published by Transparency International, where a complete absence of corruption is 0 and we occupy the 59th position. We are very close to the levels of corruption existing in Africa. Finally, Dr. Ugaz highlighted the challenge of fighting against corruption today, when there are tools that require familiarity and application on the part of both authorities and citizens. It is this very approach that the National Anti-Corruption Network takes in its efforts to fight this social ill.

From the Project to the National Anti-Corruption Network - Marcela Huaita, executive coordinator
The executive coordination of a project such as the National Anti-Corruption Network has been an interesting experience, during which we have had to take on many challenges and quell tensions. I would like to talk about four specific instances that taught us specific lessons. The first challenge was to work simultaneously in all the regions of the country. There is no doubt that this was a qualitative leap. Although we had experience in working simultaneously in several regions, going nationwide posed other kinds of demands. To do this, the baseline was of the utmost importance, and we read it with great concentration as soon as we got our hands on it in order to know what and who we would be working with in the regions. After reading the baseline, the challenges seemed to mount. We were facing a complex panorama that needed to be attended to: a relative lack of knowledge on this issue in the regions, low motivation in some and the desire for quick results in others. Would our offer fit in this panorama? What adjustment should we make? How should be organize ourselves? Meetings for discussion, adjustments, changes and the need to make decisions. The baseline was used to make the call to action in the regions, and to develop the School in Lima. Once the groups returned to their regions, we faced a second challenge. We had previously established a monitoring system, supported by a team of young professionals whom we had organized by regional corridors. We had also developed different forms to facilitate the monitoring of the works. But once in the field, reality took over. Some corridors work, others dont. It wasnt the geography that proved problematic; it was the regional seasons, rains, strikes, protests against progress made by other groups, doubts about attending events over the internet or in person, activities that required our intervention. Our main allies: cell phones and laptops with an internet connection, which helped us stay in permanent contact with our team. However, the richness of the experience and the work in 26 bases made constant monitoring necessary. We realized that we needed to draft summary reports, since marathon meetings dont work, although sometimes theyre necessary to listen to one another and learn from each other how to solve problems of different magnitudes that we are faced with.
Proud of My Dad
Winner of the 1st National Contest for Scripts for Anti-Corruption Videos Protica and the National Anti-Corruption School, with the sponsorship of Open Society Institute (OSI), present the winner of the 1st National Contest for Scripts for Anti-Corruption Videos, Proud of My Dad, submitted by the team from Seor de Sipn University in Lambayeque. The contest was open to participants of the National Anti-Corruption School, and involved the submission of scripts for one-minute videos addressing a case of corruption anywhere in Peru. The objective was to demonstrate that there is no such thing as a little corruption, since any act of corruption may have serious consequences. The scripts also needed to incorporate attempts to raise awareness among the public, and thus raise the bar for what is considered tolerable when it comes to corruption. After receiving the submissions, the jury selected one of the scripts, which was then developed and produced with the winning group and an experienced team of filmmakers hired by Protica for that purpose. http://www.proetica.org.pe/video-orgulloso-de-mi-padre/
On the team, there are different abilities that need to be complemented. There are people who are particularly committed to the cause and are inspirational but also critical; there are people who are always optimistic and smiley, despite all those long road trips; there are people who suffer along with the members when they have problems; those who organize themselves differently; those who follow the logic of the forms without creating problems; and those who rebel. There are people who talk very rarely but speak volumes when they do. Ultimately, it is a team that is united, and like the regional teams, it makes every effort to ensure that the groups come out ahead. There is no doubt about the need for creativity and a playful spirit. Communicating the results of a nationwide project is complex and can be boring, but if we present it with the colors of a stoplight, it is easier to assimilate. My bosss suggestions are welcome, detail and precision are important, but it is also true that information summed up with concise visuals helps us to communicate better. The challenge of communication is not only internal; it is also necessary with regard to the regional groups. We tried out different formulas: the mailing list, the website, blogs, Facebook, and finally, Twitter. Then the focus on social networking seemed to take over our network. It is important to make way for new technologies, and how could one not want to learn? The Network began to take shape. The members of the Network started communicating and transmitting their information without constant prodding from us. This seems to indicate that we finally hit on the right approach. Finally, there is the challenge of sustainability. How do we continue on? How do we make sure the Network isnt just a project, but that it takes on a life of its own? That depends, without a doubt, on its members. Protica has planted the seeds of a Network, based on volunteer participation. We have achieved a nationwide presence, but we dont know how far these groups will be able to continue without the constant backing of the project. We believe this depends on whether local institutions can insert the fight against corruption into their agenda. We know that wherever there is a necessity, there is a social response. Wherever the fight against corruption is perceived as an urgent need, the Network will have an opportunity to develop, and it may occupy a space on the regional political agenda. We here at Protica will continue providing our assistance and support. The struggle continues, and we must put all our creativity into our responses.
