La necesidad de mayor transparencia en las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) ha llevado al propio sector a elaborar mecanismos de rendición de cuentas denominados mecanismos de autorregulación. Esta información debe estar al alcance público siendo Internet uno de los medios de comunicación más relevantes. En este contexto, el presente trabajo pretende, en primer lugar, ofrecer una comparación de las características de los mecanismos de autorregulación desarrollados por las ONG autorreguladoras de Latinoamérica con las de Estados Unidos y Europa; en segundo lugar, realizar un análisis comparativo del nivel de exigencia informativa en los mecanismos de autorregulación de tales ámbitos geográficos; y, en tercer lugar, el análisis empírico de factores que influyen en la demanda de transparencia informativa. Los principales resultados muestran que existen divergencias entre las ONG autorreguladoras estudiadas en cuanto al nivel de control de los mecanismos de autorregulación y ala exigencia informativa sobre el buen gobierno de la organización. El factor experiencia en la autorregulación es el aspecto que más influye en la demanda de transparencia.

Abstract

Abstract

Given the need for greater transparency in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the sector is developing its own accountability or self-regulatory mechanisms. Because this information needs to be available to the general public, the Internet is one of the most relevant communication tools. In this context, this article sets out a comparative analysis of the characteristics of the self-regulatory mechanisms in Latin America and contrasts them with such mechanisms in the United States and Europe. It also presents a comparative analysis of the level of information required for the aforementioned NGOs, as well as an exploratory analysis of factors that determine the demand for informative transparency. The main findings highlight that there are differences in both the level of control of self-regulation and the information required to verify transparency in good governance practices. Experience in self-regulation is the factor that most influences in the requirement of transparency by self-regulatory NGOs.
