Description

STRENGTHENING OF MUNICIPAL MECHANISMS FOR THE GREATER ACCESS OF CITIZENSHIP TO PUBLIC INFORMATION
September 01, 2018 – August 31, 2020
Institute responsible for the implementation: Access to Public Information Institute (IAIP)
Which is the problem that the commitment addresses? At present day, the citizens demand accountability mechanisms from the government and municipal agencies to guarantee the effective use of the public resources they manage. One of the most important mechanisms for municipalities to comply with this rendering of accounts is through the publication of information in the Unique Portal of Transparency of the IAIP, in which to the date (July 17), 84 (28%) municipalities have entered the server.
What is the commitment? Carry out the entry of all the 298 municipalities of the country to the Single Portal of Transparency of the IAIP through the use of education mechanisms to disseminate the necessary knowledge to the staff of the municipalities, serving in this way as liaisons with the IAIP.
How will it contribute to solve the problem? The opening of Transparency Portals all 298 municipalities will help of members from the local communities to be able to exercise their right to access the information effectively, they will also provide information to municipalities governments with an state of the art accountability tool where they can provide quality information and comply with the provisions of the Transparency Law and Access to Public Information (LTAIP). Similarly, the preparation provided to municipal personnel through the non-formal information mechanisms will prepare them to respond effectively to the requests for information submitted by the applicants
Why is it relevant to the values of the OGP: Transparency: The fulfillment of this commitment helps to provide more information to the general public through the publication of this information within the transparency portals of the municipalities, It will also facilitate requesting information from local governments and will also prepare professionals capable of meeting the requests presented.
Accountability: Compliance with the commitment will improve in a significant way the capacity of local communities to be continuosly accountable about the activities they perform. In the same way the appointment of the liaison with the IAIP will give that government official the necessary skills to meet the requests that are presented in their municipalities. The most important thing is that citizens are empowered in their right to access the information, and new spaces are enabled to guarantee the availability of the information requested.
Additional information
The development of this commitment will be carried out through the development of courses of Transparency and Right of Access to Public Information with a focus on Municipal Management.
