Conpes document 3654 indicates that accountability is the obligation of an actor to inform and explain its actions to other(s) who have the right to demand it, due to the presence of a power relationship, and the possibility of imposing some kind of sanction for inadequate behavior or rewarding outstanding behavior. It is the duty of the authorities of the public administration to respond publicly, before the demands made by the citizens, for the management of resources, decisions and management carried out in the exercise of the power delegated to them.
It implies a permanent process through various spaces for dialogue, deliberation and communication, in which public administration authorities must inform and explain to citizens the results of the management entrusted to them and submit to social control: that is, public review and evaluation by citizens of their management. It is a new way in which the administration relates to the community.
In accordance with the provisions of Law 489 of 1998, all public administration entities and agencies have the obligation to develop their management in accordance with the principles of participatory democracy and democratization of public management. In compliance with this provision, these organizations must render accounts to the public.
