"It is also very commendable that special attention is given in this memorandum to digital transformation, a mandatory agenda to promote increasingly demanding sectors that require economic capacity, skills and knowledge, to address a sustainable universalization, inclusion and digital literacy," added the Secretary General.
The Auditor General of the State of Querétaro, Enrique De Echávarri, thanked Secretary General Almagro "for trusting in this initiative" and added that the agreement will help local authorities to establish strategies to fight corruption and to "achieve our goals in terms of access to information, transparency and accountability".
