Second Open Government Forum on Plain Language: Building Clarity Between the State and Citizens

The Open Government Forum successfully concluded its meeting on Plain Language, strengthening institutional collaboration with citizens to design more transparent management tools. By focusing on end users, particularly older adults, the initiative prioritizes active inclusion in identifying comprehension challenges. Participants analyzed key documents from the three branches of government using a participatory methodology. This process enables the identification of improvement opportunities based on direct experience, ensuring that public communications are truly clear and accessible to the entire population. This initiative is significant for open data because it demonstrates that transparency alone is not enough; data must also be intelligible. Citizen participation in the design of language ensures that government information is usable, thereby strengthening accountability and genuine accessibility to public information.
