PODER - Project on Organizing, Development, Education and Research Details
The Project on Organizing, Development, Education, and Research (PODER) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization whose mission is to improve corporate transparency and accountability in Latin America and to strengthen civil society stakeholders of corporations as long-term accountability guarantors. PODER accomplishes this by leveraging business intelligence, transparency technology, and community organizing to ultimately build a citizen-led corporate accountability movement.Our vision is of a Latin America where the citizen sector is sufficiently powerful so as to be able to engage the public and private sectors in horizontal accountability relationships to ensure democracy and democratic economies. The main problem we seek to address is state capture, whereby an economic and political elite controls public decision-making and effectively limits the realization of sustainable capitalism and democracy for the rest of society. We believe these elite actors have co-opted national economies and politics for their private benefit and, consequently, the rule of law and fledgling democratic mechanisms fail to hold them accountable. Therefore, it is up to citizens, their communities, and civil society organizations to pressure government and corporate actors in order to right the imbalance of power.El Proyecto sobre Organización, Desarrollo, Educación e Investigación (PODER, por sus siglas en inglés) es una organización no gubernamental sin fines de lucro dedicada a la transparencia y rendición de cuentas empresarial en América Latina. PODER emplea la inteligencia empresarial, la tecnología de transparencia y la organización comunitaria para mejorar la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas del sector empresarial en América Latina y para fortalecer a la sociedad civil afectada por las empresas, como garantes de la rendición de cuentas a largo plazo.
