Transparency means guaranteeing access to information generated by public administration. It serves to improve the oversight of public action, foster citizen participation and prevent corruption.

It includes two fundamental aspects:

  • Active disclosure, where public administrations proactively publish relevant information such as their organisation, budgets, contracts, grants or agreements, among others. You can consult this information on this Portal.
  • The right of access to public information, which allows any person to request information that public administrations have generated or hold as a result of their activity.
