Mercedes: Open Government and Participatory Democracy Ecosystem

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

The Open Government and Participatory Democracy Ecosystem in Mercedes (B) consisted of consolidating a municipal policy aimed at strengthening transparency, access to public information, and accountability within the Municipality of Mercedes. The initiative was structured around the transparency and open data portal available on the municipality’s official website, where budget information, expenditure execution, and data related to strategic management programs are published.

The initiative made it possible to systematize and centralize information that had previously been dispersed across different departments, establishing common criteria for publication, periodic updates, and open digital access. Within this framework, data from municipal programs such as Mil Días and PROEBA were incorporated, making public information about their objectives, scope, and allocation of resources.

The practice articulated cross-departmental work among various municipal areas — Government, Health, Social Development, Production, Systems, and Communication — strengthening internal coordination and improving administrative processes. It also combined digital tools with in-person community engagement activities, promoting transparency that is close and accessible to citizens.

In a local context of 73,477 inhabitants, the initiative contributed to consolidating an institutional culture of openness, integrating transparency as a permanent component of municipal management and reinforcing participatory democracy mechanisms at the local level.
