Buen día
Podría acceder a los talleres en el mes de junio referente: “En el mundo del gobierno abierto, hay muchas historias que merecen ser contadas”.
En este sentido también si podrían pasar a mi correo el Manual Nacional OGP 2022 (PDF) Español
y/o otro material, documentos entre otros, el motivo estoy apoyando en la elaboración de reglamento de la Mesa Conjunta y del Comité Ejecutivo de Gobierno Abierto Paraguay en forma voluntaria.
