Open government strategies and governance frameworks in Latin America

Based on the results of the OECD Survey on Open Government in Latin American, this chapter evaluates the open government strategies and governance frameworks of eleven Latin American countries. It analyses open government achievements and challenges against the background of the creation of the Open Government Partnership in 2011 and provides a picture of the institutions in charge of open government. It finds that countries from the region have made great progress in defining and implementing open government strategies and programmes. But it also identifies the need to strengthen horizontal policy alignment and institutional leadership.
