Instalan mesa para actualizar Política de Datos Abiertos

Guatemala will update its National Open Data Policy to strengthen transparency and social accountability. This participatory process aims to help citizens understand the use of state budgets and public benefits, involving government sectors, the private sector, and civil society. Open data are considered essential for strengthening democracy, governance, and the fight against corruption. Moreover, they constitute an invaluable source for driving innovation and improving institutional capacity through digital tools. This approach is relevant to the global open data movement by demonstrating how government transparency empowers citizens. By prioritizing inclusion and dialogue, it establishes a model for turning public information into a concrete mechanism for accountability and social development.
