Create online catalogue of public information (ES0097)

What is the problem/need that is desired to resolve with the commitment? It has been detected that the level of active transparency of the administration at the autonomous region level is very poor and not very demanding. One of the possible reasons for this is the brief list of contents that article 3 of Law 3/2015 of 4 March on Transparency, Citizen Participation of Castilla y León added to them that is already imposed that establishes the basic state legislation. In addition to undertaking the approval of a new, more demanding law in this respect, it has been decided to implement the drafting of a catalogue of public information where the commitment of each body, organisation, entity, commercial society and foundation of the public sector at the autonomous region level is materialised with the publication of that information that each one generates in the provision of the public services and exercise of competencies they are responsible for. Society has the right to know how resources that they contribute in the form of taxes and other forms of revenue are managed, as well as the level of commitment of the administration to satisfy the general interests.

Objectives of the commitment To increase the volume of relevant, clear and structured public information to actively disseminate by the public sector at the autonomous region level so that society knows more and better how the public resources, objectives committed to and actions carried out to satisfy the general interests are managed.

Brief description of the commitment The catalogue will be a document that will contain the publication content by being considered relevant so that society can know the political action of governance. The completed catalogue will be visible from the transparency Website and will contain the content to be published, the person responsible for supplying the information, the frequency of being updated, format and URL where it is published.

How does the commitment contribute to solve the problem or cover the need? The fact that the catalogue, with all publication commitments that it incorporates and the identification of the manager of each one of them is visible by any person, as well as their degree of completion, will promote accountability (citizen audit) and the involvement of each body in the openness of information that it generates in the provision of services and exercise of the competencies that pertain to them.

Why is the commitment relevant with respect to the values of Open Government? It promotes, strengthens and improves the quality of participation in the public management, allowing the citizenship to participate in making public decisions with the objective of achieving better results and better democratic quality. 231 By allowing the citizenship to access all relevant content that are generated in public management, increasing the debate and civil dialogue with the public officials. 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. It promotes not only active advertising, but the supply of content in open formats for their reuse. It contributes to building a system of public integrity, strengthening the ethical values and mechanisms to bolster the integrity of the public institutions and reinforce the trust of the citizenship, by being able to publicly and constantly scrutinise the public management. It raises awareness among society and civil servants about the values of Open Government, contributing to the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda in order to advance towards a just, peaceful and inclusive society. Most of the content of the catalogue comes from the "negotiation" of the people responsible for the transparency project with each one of the public actors in order to identify what content is of necessary knowledge by the citizenship for effective accountability.

Additional information In principle, there is no cost associated with this action, given that it will be carried out with the own resources of the Directorate General of Transparency and Good Governance, and those of each one of the other bodies. The human and technological resources already exist. The progress of the works can be followed at this website: https://gobiernoabierto.jcyl.es/web/es/transparencia/compromisos‐publicidad.html
