The Open Government Partnership (OGP) brings together governments, citizens, civil society organizations, academia and the private sector to promote transparent, responsible, inclusive governance that ensures accountability . OGP carries out this vision by recognizing the critical role local governments play in being closer to the people they serve. Cities, states, regions, provinces, municipalities, and other jurisdictions offer critical services that demand effectiveness and accountability.

OGP seeks to support open government leaders at the local level in adopting innovative open government reforms. This is the case of Santo Domingo, which now has the First Open Government Provincial Action Plan, which was validated and has received recognition for the environmental proposal that generates a commitment that is being developed and is constantly being monitored and evaluation, through the criteria of the methodology that is taken from the OGP-Local manual.

We can identify the great potential in the First Open Government Action Plan of the Province, taking into consideration the work carried out directly with the citizens for the creation of a Multi-stakeholder Forum, as well as for the collection of proposals and the selection of the three most important :

1. Co-creation of a public policy for reforestation and environmental care in the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas and a digital system for environmental control and delivery of environmental species.

2. Program for the modernization of farmers and their participation in the design, compilation and publication of production data and agricultural prices in open formats.

3. Development of a participatory process and platform for monitoring and controlling the state of the province's road infrastructure.

Each of these axes and their processes will be supervised and validated by OGP-Local.

Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas has become a benchmark in the country for its Open Government practices and, above all, seeking alternatives that integrate mechanisms that facilitate transparency, citizen participation and collaboration.
