Nota editorial: El texto completo del compromiso se encuentra en el Cuarto Plan de Acción Nacional de Gobierno Abierto de Uruguay 2018-2020, disponible aquí: https://goo.gl/XAMbNr

Fecha de inicio: Febrero 2019              Fecha de término: Noviembre 2019

Contexto y objetivos

La aduana es uno de los sectores de la administración pública que goza de menos confianza entre la población y donde cada año hay múltiples denuncias o acusaciones de corrupción [138]. En el ranking de organismos públicos que realiza la empresa consultora FACTUM cada dos años, la Dirección Nacional de Aduanas (DNA) ocupaba en 2017 el lugar 20 entre 25 organismos, lo que la sitúa en un puesto relativamente bajo [139].

De acuerdo a lo que se plantea en el compromiso, son muchas las solicitudes de acceso a información que se reciben, solicitando datos sobre incautaciones, cargas en arribo y partidas, así como sobre la recaudación. Se consultó a las personas referentes del compromiso, para conocer el número de solicitudes al año y otras informaciones, pero no se había obtenido respuesta al cierre de este informe [140].

Con el objetivo de atender la demanda de información, el compromiso se propuso publicar en forma periódica en el sitio web de la DNA y en el Catálogo Nacional de Datos Abiertos, los datos correspondientes a mercaderías incautadas, recaudación y cargas.

La persona referente de DATA [141], consultado por las investigadoras del IRM, considera que es muy importante que un actor como la aduana sea transparente y de esta manera limite la corrupción. Si bien el compromiso no surge a partir de una demanda concreta de la sociedad civil, se ve como muy positivo el hecho que el organismo tenga la iniciativa de abrir datos como los que se propone.

Las actividades propuestas en el compromiso son los suficientemente claras como para que se puedan verificar objetivamente. Publicar información solicitada por la población es relevante al acceso a la información y la transparencia, pero el impacto potencial será menor ya que solo se propone abrir datos, pero no genera otro tipo de acciones que impliquen una mejor visualización o trabajo conjunto con los interesados directos para detectar otros vacíos de información o necesidades.

Siguientes pasos

Tomando en cuenta los bajos niveles de confianza que la población tiene en la Dirección Nacional de Aduanas, las investigadoras del IRM, recomiendan profundizar las acciones iniciadas con un compromiso en un próximo plan que apunte a generar más transparencia y a generar canales de interlocución para rendir cuentas a la ciudadanía. Sería recomendable realizar un sondeo en la población y específicamente en aquellos sectores que se vinculan con la aduana para identificar cuáles son las temáticas más sensibles para continuar profundizando en la apertura de datos. Es necesario, asimismo, que se haga una difusión de toda la información que se disponga en datos abiertos, y si fuera posible con visualizaciones sencillas para que cualquier persona pueda hacer un seguimiento.

[139] La encuesta consultó a hombres y mujeres, residentes en el país, urbano y rural, en condiciones de votar el 27 de octubre de 2019. Fueron 1873 casos (936 por telefonía fija y 937 por telefonía celular) Ver informe completo en: https://portal.factum.uy/analisis/2018/ana180511.php
[140] Se consultó a Martín Prieto referente del compromiso para saber el número de solicitudes al año, pero no se había obtenido respuesta al cierre de este informe.
