Análisis del modelo de gobierno abierto en el Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal de Balzar, año 2024

Abstract

Abstract: The following study aims to analyze how the Open Government model is implemented in the Decentralized Municipal Autonomous Government (GAD) of the Balzar canton in 2024, using the Open Government Index (IGA) as a measurement tool. This is based on the principles of transparency and access to public information, integrity and accountability, public cooperation and innovation, as well as citizen participation, which are the main pillars underpinning the Open Government model. This process was carried out through document analysis and a review of information compiled from the official website of the Balzar Municipal GAD. The collected data underwent a triangulation process that confirmed the results obtained. These results showed a Global Open Government Index of 0.27, placing the Balzar Municipal GAD at a low stage of adoption. The inadequacy of the municipal regulatory framework and the limited IT infrastructure are among the main factors hindering the incorporation of Open Government as a management model.
