Action Plan

Design:

For the development of the Fourth National Action Plan, 10 thematic areas for strategic action were considered: transparency and public integrity; natural resources and environment; social and educational policies; modernization of the state; Open Parliament; access to information; agricultural transparency; open budgets; and Open Justice.

The co-creation process of this fourth Action Plan was carried out through coordination between the Government and civil society to strengthen transparency, accountability, citizen participation and the use of communication technologies. Consultations and surveys were carried out to define the thematic lines, co-creation tables, meetings and awareness days, and technical training.
