Brief description of the commitment Improve the access of the citizenship to the Transparency Website and the Open Data Website of the Government of La Rioja, as well as the rest of the information on the institutional website. In each one of these three areas, we have started an improvement process that allows in the last phase to integrate, unify, publish, link and exploit the existing information in a more efficient manner. It is about promoting the development of a new website that is smarter and more effective in locating and reusing the content. It strives to develop a more simple and robust website and with a representation of more sophisticated knowledge, which allows people and organisations to construct and enjoy a space of socio‐digital life that expands and increases the possibilities of relating, deliberating, creating and interacting socially between all of them.

How does the commitment contribute to solve the problem or cover the need? One of the strategic lines in the political action of the Government of La Rioja is to improve and delve deeper into all fields that have the objective of increasing the transparency of good governance, accountability and the reuse of information of the public sector to the benefit of the citizenship. None of this is achievable if digital access to information does not work.

Why is the commitment relevant with respect to the values of Open Government? Participation, in this case using as a means, our Websites (Transparency and Open Data), is key to collaboration. Collaboration is key to resolving complex challenges. Advancing in transparency is advancing in the concept of "accountability". It delves deeper into transparency, open data and accountability of Public Administrations through carrying out actions aimed at its improvement and the evaluation of the results of the plans and programmes.
