Mirada Ciudadana trabaja con 17 municipios del MERCOSUR, fortaleciendo sus capacidades institucionales y su gobernanza con el fin de mejorar su eficiencia y lograr así políticas públicas de calidad enfocadas a la reducción de las brechas de desigualdad. De esta manera, no solo contribuimos directamente al ODS 11 (ciudades sostenibles) y al ODS 16 (instituciones eficaces), sino que tenemos un fuerte impacto también en el ODS 10 (reducción de las desigualdades) y en todos los demás, en la medida que los gobiernos locales son actores clave para el logro del conjunto de la Agenda.
