El Programa Democracia y Derechos Humanos del Centro de Derechos Humanos ha elaborado una base de datos de casos de corrupción que tiene como objetivo poner a disposición los casos de corrupción socialmente significativos acaecidos en seis países de la región (Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Chile, México y Perú) entre los años 1998 y 2008. La base sistematiza información relevante, recogida en base a una cuidada metodología, para fomentar el estudio y análisis de estos fenómenos, facilitar la incidencia y la elaboración de políticas públicas en materia de transparencia, lucha contra la corrupción y promoción de los derechos humanos.

Transparency and accountability have emerged over the past decade as key ways to address both developmental failures and democratic deficits. In the development context, the argument is that through greater accountability, 'leaky pipes' of corruption and inefficiency will be repaired, aid will be channelled more effectively, and in turn development initiatives will produce greater and more visible results. For scholars and practitioners of democracy, a parallel argument holds that following the twentieth-century wave of democratisation, democracy now has to 'deliver the goods', especially in terms of material outcomes, and that new forms of democratic accountability can help it do so. While traditional forms of state-led accountability are increasingly found to be inadequate, thousands of multi-stakeholder and citizen-led approaches have come to the fore, to supplement or supplant them.
