Its work covers electoral transparency and comparison, legislative monitoring, access to information, conflicts of interest, campaign finance, anonymous whistleblowing, legal aid for corruption victims and witnesses, and participatory policy co-design. The organisation is interdisciplinary and international, with offices in Santiago de Chile and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it focuses in particular on electoral processes and civic participation in Brazil and Chile.
