A number of civil society organisations in the Americas have actively worked at the national level to raise awareness of the obligations of State Parties to the OAS Convention. These organisations have designed programs and events, often in cooperation with their governments, to lobby for the complete implementation of the Convention and for monitoring the compliance of state parties to the recommendations issued by the Committee of Experts.

Below is a short descripton of these organisations and thier lobbying efforts:

Argentina

• Poder Ciudadano, TI´s National Chapter, works at a provincial level through the "federal group for monitoring and promoting the IACAC" in order to assure the implementation of recommendations made by the Committee of Experts. To this end, activities are planned for Tucumán, Mendoza, Jujuy, Córdoba, and Santa Fe.
• Poder Ciudadano works with the National Attorney of Administrative Investigations to establish national standards for the application of recommendations from the Committee of Experts.
• Poder Ciudadano monitors the general auditor's progress report on implementation of the IACAC.

Chile

• Chile Transparente, TI´s National Chapter, is carrying out a cycle of eight television programs, one of them on the Anti-Corruption Conventions. This project seeks to promote existing Conventions by creating a dialogue between citizens and politicians.

Both national and international events gave civil society throughout the hemisphere a chance to provide feedback and to formulate recommendations to add to the discussion.
