MANILA, Philippines - The Citizen’s Participatory Audit (CPA), Commission on Audit (COA) Chairman Grace Pulido-Tan pet project which allows ordinary Filipinos to participate in the audit of public funds, was declared winner of the Bright Spots competition at the closing plenary of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) summit in London Friday afternoon.

The CPA project launched in November last year explores ways in which citizens can be directly engaged in the audit process for government projects and contribute to ensuring greater efficiency and effectiveness in the use of public resources.

To date, four pilot audits with ordinary Filipinos participating in it are in progress. These are the CAMANAVA flood control project of the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Department of Education’s public-private partnership for school building Phase 1, Quezon City’s solid waste management program, and Marikina City’s operation of barangay health centers.

The Bright Spots prize, given for the first time at this year’s OGP summit,  recognizes the most inspiring examples of how open and accountable government is changing people’s lives.

The CPA received the highest number of votes from the over 1,000 summit participants and the general public, beating six other bright ideas from Chile, Estonia, Georgia, Indonesia, Montenegro and Romania.

The COA delegation was headed by COA Commissioner Heidi Mendoza, Director Aida Ayaso Talavera, and Vivien Suerte-Cortez, CPA project manager.

The Bright Spots award aims to show how governments in OGP countries are working with citizens to sharpen governance, harness new technologies to increase public participation, and improve government responsiveness.

The OGP summit in London held on Oct. 31- Nov. 1 is the third since OGP was launched in September 2011 in  New York. The Philippines, represented by President Aquino, was invited as one of eight countries to serve in the OGP Steering Committee.
