Participation of the associative and private sectors

Consumer protection requires the participation of all stakeholders if adequate protection for the country’s population as consumers is to be achieved and maintained, in line with the objectives of the United Nations guidelines for consumer protection. It also requires the support of the public authorities, especially the institutions responsible for the preparation of public policy and law enforcement, and of market agents, i.e. businesses and consumer groups and associations. This chapter addresses the situation in Peru with regard to consumer associations, suppliers and their activities, and identifies both successful practices and areas for improvement.
