Participants in the audit included Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and the Dominican Republic.

The goal of the coordinated audit was to contribute to the strengthening of a good regional governance, through the evaluation of public policies applied to the borders of OLACEFS member countries, focusing on two thematic aspects: development and security. The publication presents the findings and conclusions on the environmental matter, within the first aspect.

The analysis was carried out by using the National Border Policy Governance Index (iGPNFron) in order to contribute to a greater impact of regional work on the improvement of border public policies, with a focus on the environmental governance of each country and, consequently, to sustainable development for the region.
