Chahla: “Tenemos un gobierno abierto, democrático, de puertas abiertas, donde todos puedan conocer los números y los datos”

San Miguel de Tucumán has launched their Open Data Portal, marking a fundamental shift toward proactive transparency. This launch, driven by collaboration with the Bloomberg Philanthropies Foundation, represents an institutional commitment to democratizing public information. The municipality has trained its staff to manage and publish data, ensuring that citizens can directly access relevant information on urban services, the environment, and neighborhood management without needing to request it beforehand. The initiative is complemented by digital platforms that facilitate direct interaction between residents and the government, promoting decentralized and efficient governance. By integrating georeferencing tools and citizen reporting mechanisms, the administration aims to expedite responses to local needs. This technological approach not only reduces centralized bureaucracy but also empowers the community to monitor and actively participate in improving their urban environment. This project is significant for the open data movement because it exemplifies the transition from passive to proactive transparency. By standardizing the publication of municipal data, it enables journalists, academics, and civil society to reuse this information, fostering accountability and evidence-based public policy design. The creation of an internal data management department ensures the sustainability of this strategy, transforming information into a common good that is accessible and useful for informed decision-making.
