COORDINATED AUDIT ON SOCIAL HOUSING
Given the unquestionable social and economic importance of social housing in the region, under the framework of the OLACEFS Public Works Audit Working Group (GTOP) a coordinated audit was conducted on this topic. The SAIs of Argentina, Brazil (Audit Coordinator), Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay and the Dominican Republic participated in the audit, which had the support of GIZ.
The purpose of the audit was to verify whether social housing policies and construction projects in each participating country were in line with all the aspects and recommendations that the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE/UN) put forward in the document entitled Guidelines on Social Housing – Principles and Examples (2006), which is considered essential for determining if housing is adequate and also whether the quantitative goals set for building housing units were defined and are being met.
