Institutes

The Institute for Ethics and Development (IED) was founded in 1994 by the Higher School of Pedagogy, Philosophy, and Literature, Antonio Ruiz de Montoya. With the founding of the university in 2003, IED took on this role of facilitating reflection, training, research, and advocacy – of promoting the ethical aspects of development in Peruvian society. IED works mainly with local and regional institutions, travelling through regions such as Áncash, Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco, Huánuco, Junín, Lambayeque, Moquegua, Puno, and Piura. IED has trained social leaders and professionals, and the staff of NGOs and of Jesuit social centers. It has collaborated in advocacy campaigns and in generating public policy proposals.[10] In 2017 it had a full-time staff of four.[11]

IED produced a much-publicized report Mapping Anticorruption Initiatives in the Peruvian State, Civil Society, and Companies. It found 32,000 corruption cases reported nationwide, which produced only 3,200 convictions and 506 jail sentences.[12] Also, Eduardo Vega, a former Ombudsman and in 2016 director of IED, found 968 public works halted from lack of funds or from poor design or execution. The Comptroller General described half of the halted works as unjustified.[13]
