Open Government in Argentina
Argentina is undertaking an ambitious reform to move beyond open government to become an “open state”. This review assesses Argentina’s progress with implementing the 10 provisions of the 2017 OECD Recommendation of the Council on Open Government. Based on extensive data gathered from all branches and levels of government, as well as civil society, this review assesses the progress made to date in these reforms and highlights good practices. It also provides guidance on how Argentina can better align its public sector reform with the Recommendation to achieve its vision.
Executive summary
Reforming and modernising the state through open government initiatives is one of the top priorities of the current government of Argentina. The country has made significant progress by creating an Open Government Roundtable, adopting a Law on the Right of Access to Public Information, and creating new tools for citizens to interact with the state.
