Informe sobre la implementación del control interno institucional en la Secretaría de Derechos Humanos

This initiative began with the "Programa Formación de Formadores" from April 8 to May 2, 2019, which aimed to capacitate directors and technicians from the Secretariat of Human Rights on concepts and strategies for implementing internal control. The program was delivered by public servants from twelve state institutions and specialists in internal control from ONADICI, who were trained as facilitators between September and December 2018. The program utilized the Sustainable Learning Transformation methodology, supported by the USAID Activity for Fiscal Transparency. Following the program, three workshops were conducted on July 23, August 1, and September 2, 2019, to train 54 officials from mission and support processes in applying the methodology for evaluating risks and establishing controls to mitigate them. The workshops involved active participation from officials to ensure they felt ownership of the internal control process. A work plan was executed from September 2 to 16, 2019, to apply the methodology for identifying, evaluating, and valuing risks, as a prerequisite for determining existing controls and designing new ones to mitigate risks. With the support of the USAID Activity for Fiscal Transparency, the Secretariat of Human Rights implemented risk matrices, risk maps, and risk mitigation plans in protection and administrative management processes. However, a subsequent phase is required to implement risk management and control activities in the Direction General of Preventive Risk Management of Human Rights Violations and Social Conflict, and the Direction for the Protection of Internally Displaced Persons by Violence. The USAID Activity for Fiscal Transparency considers that officials from the Secretariat of Human Rights have acquired sufficient capacities to develop risk management and control activities with sufficient competencies, and therefore, they are confident that they can successfully execute the work plan developed.
