Building Trust: an ethical and transformative public culture.

We are a citizen, technical and independent network that generates evidence, drives action and builds capacities to protect democracy and the proper use of public resources.

Why we exist

Chile faces an institutional trust crisis.

Corruption not only affects public resources: it weakens the legitimacy of the State and trust in democracy. The figures speak for themselves.

+80%

Perceive corruption in the State

ICSO-UDP, National Social Climate Survey, 2025

85%

Consider public bodies very or fairly corrupt

Criteria, Citizen Perceptions of Corruption in Chile, 2024

22%

Our model

Three engines that drive our action.

RIEA is organized around three closely linked areas that connect evidence with change: we generate data, we translate it into action, and we build the capacities to sustain that change.

Engine 1

Observatory of Integrity and Public Safety

Generates evidence with open databases and rigorous analysis on integrity, transparency and the use of public resources.

Meet the Observatory
Engine 2

Citizen Oversight

Drives action through participation channels, case tracking and coordination with civil society and oversight institutions.

Meet the Citizen Oversight
Engine 3

Institute of Integrity and Open Government

Strengthens capacities through training in public compliance, ethics and institutional integrity for civil servants, organizations and citizens.
