Speaker: Luis Felipe Álvarez Burgos: Civic software developer based in Santiago, Chile working in Ciudadano Inteligente. Fundación Ciudadano Inteligente creates and develops technological tools which empower citizens in transparency, accountability and collective participation, both in Chile and Latin America. Abstract: Ciudadano Inteligente (FCI) is an NGO based in Chile that aims to bridge the information gaps between the latin american people, also promotes laws and regulations to promote transparency and accountability in the government. In this sense FCI conducted a research called Interests Inspector (2011), that was intended to transparent the relation between the declarations of assets of Congress and the legislative work. The intention of it was to inhibit congressmen to benefit themselves and not the public good, specially considering that the chilean system doesn't provide an oversight entity for this kind of conflict.
