Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana

What Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana does

Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana (GPC) is a Peruvian civil society alliance founded in 1992 and headquartered in the Magdalena del Mar district of Lima. It is a multi-institutional coalition of at least 11 member organizations (including Alternativa, Arariwa, CBC, CEDEP, CEDEPAS, CEDER, CIPCA, CEPES/DEPeS, DESCO, IEP, and Transparency International Australia's Peru chapter) that promotes citizen participation, decentralized governance, and oversight of public resource management in Peru, particularly the distribution of extractive industry revenues (mining and hydrocarbon canon and royalties) to regional and local governments.

GPC's core product surface is built around three platforms and a sustained publication program. The Vigilancia de las Industrias Extractivas (VIE) platform (extractivas.propuestaciudadana.org.pe) aggregates mining and hydrocarbon revenue data and underpins the annual "Vigilancia de las industrias extractivas" Reporte Nacional series, which has reached its 29th edition (Balance 2024, published May 2026). The Grupo Justicia Fiscal (GJF) platform (justiciafiscal.pe) supports fiscal reform advocacy in coalition with Cooperacción, Oxfam, and NRGI. The Foro Ciudadano para las Relaciones CELAC-UE extends the alliance's reach into Latin America–European Union civil society dialogue. Complementing these platforms, GPC delivers a recurring series of virtual training programs ("Programa de formación en vigilancia ciudadana," running through six editions since 2023) that build capacity in civil society organizations to monitor public investment through Peru's government transparency portals (MEF's Consulta Amigable and SSI, SEACE, and the Comptroller General's INFObras and concurrent control services).

GPC operates as a non-commercial, grant-funded civil society organization with approximately 18 staff and no commercial revenue. It is financed primarily through international development cooperation — explicitly listed cooperantes include BROT (Brot für die Welt), Ford Foundation, NRGI, Transparency International Australia, and Oxfam, with project-specific support from the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC). All programs, publications, and training are provided free of charge to participants and the public. Its "customers" are effectively Peruvian civil society organizations (vigilance committees, neighborhood councils, citizen collectives, and small-scale mining and agricultural organizations) that consume its research and training to engage with government authorities. GPC reports an operating presence across 10 Peruvian departments (Piura, Cajamarca, La Libertad, Áncash, Arequipa, Moquegua, Cusco, Apurímac, Ucayali, and Loreto) and a communications archive spanning two decades.

Revenue model

1. International Development Cooperation Funding: GPC is funded primarily through grants and support from international development cooperation agencies and foundations. The organization's website explicitly lists 'Cooperantes' (donor organizations) including BROT (Brot für die Welt), Ford Foundation, Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), and Transparency International Australia. Additional donors mentioned include Oxfam, the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC) supporting intergovernmental articulation events, and others referenced across publications. This constitutes an indirect, grant-based revenue model typical of CSOs rather than commercial revenue.

Core offering

Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana is a Peruvian civil society alliance that delivers citizen oversight training programs, annual surveillance research reports on extractive industries, fiscal justice advocacy, and operates digital platforms including the Vigilancia de las Industrias Extractivas (VIE), Grupo Justicia Fiscal (GJF), and the Foro Ciudadano para las Relaciones CELAC-UE. Its work centers on monitoring the distribution and use of mining and hydrocarbon revenues transferred to regional and local governments in Peru, and on building the capacity of civil society organizations to engage in public resource oversight.

Product overview

Grupo Propuesta Ciudadana operates as an alliance of civil society institutions promoting citizen participation and advocacy for decentralized, inclusive, and sustainable development in Peru. Its product portfolio consists of three interconnected core offerings: (1) the VIE (Vigilancia de las Industrias Extractivas) Platform — a data and publication platform monitoring the distribution and use of mining and hydrocarbon revenues transferred to regional and local governments, supported by annual national surveillance reports (Reporte Nacional N° 29 covering balance 2024); (2) the Grupo Justicia Fiscal (GJF) Platform — an information and advocacy tool for fiscal justice, tax reform analysis, and public resource management; and (3) the Foro Ciudadano para las Relaciones CELAC-UE — a citizen forum facilitating civil society dialogue and advocacy in bi-regional relations between Latin America/Caribbean and the European Union. Complementing these platforms, the organization delivers structured training programs (Programas de formación en vigilancia ciudadana, running through six editions) that build civil society capacities in monitoring public investment through government transparency portals (MEF's Consulta Amigable, SSI, SEACE, and the Comptroller General's INFObras and concurrent control services), as well as a virtual course on fiscal justice. Additional products include advocacy publications such as the Programa Nacional de Agroecología and thematic research on artisanal and small-scale mining.
