Análisis del Modelo de Gobierno Abierto en Gobiernos Subnacionales del Ecuador, en el GAD Municipal Francisco de Orellana del Ecuador, período 2018 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the implementation of the Open Government model in the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Municipality of Francisco de Orellana, based on the need to promote more transparent, participatory, ethical, and accountable public management. The research addresses the central issue of the weak institutionalization of this approach at subnational levels. The theoretical framework is based on the principles established by international organizations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2019) and the Open Government Partnership (OGP, 2021). Methodologically, the Open State Index was applied, consisting of 16 indicators grouped into key dimensions, allowing the institutional openness level to be measured. The results reveal a partial adoption of the model, with progress in transparency and participation, but also shortcomings in accountability, integrity, and open data. Based on these findings, recommendations are proposed to strengthen local governance through structured and sustainable policies. This work seeks to contribute to the understanding of open government from an empirical perspective and to reflect on the need for leadership, planning, and multisectoral collaboration to consolidate a more open state at the territorial level.
