Description

Short description Defining the standardization of specific communication actions on the different social networks, both for central and local administrations, identifying a format for sharing the activities of the socalled “’Transparent Administration” through the social media. Discussing proposals at national level with the people responsible for the implementation of regulations (anticorruption and transparency managers), who in most cases do not have a specific background in communication nor a dedicated budget. General objective Using social networks to let citizens understand and use the information published in the section “Transparent Administration” in the websites of public administrations. Current situation The legislation adopted in the last five years has inundated the websites of public administrations with an increasing number of data, documents and information. However, this information is often unknown to citizens since most transparency managers are not experts in communication nor have a dedicated budget for it. Expected results Increase the number of accesses to data, information and documents published by public administrations with a view to encouraging civic control by developing standard procedures and assessment modalities (in agreement with universities and research centers) to be replicated at large scale in central and local administrations.
