Training for Open Contracting in Infrastructure (GT0119)

Which is the problematic than the commitment addresses? There is little knowledge in the public institutions about the current regulations that contemplate guidelines to comply with the international standard of open data in infrastructure (OC4IDS) for which reason the public portals reflect low percentages of disclosure of data and documents that correspond to the different stages of a public works project.

Which is the commitment? The organization of an annual specialized training in the international open data standard in infrastructure (OC4IDS) aimed at governing entities and executing units of the public works of the central government in Guatemala, with feedback from multisectoral actors.

How will you contribute to solve the problematic? It will contribute by providing specialized knowledge to the technical teams of the executing units of public works responsible for the administration, implementation and transparency of the projects, in order to comply with current regulations related to the disclosure of open data in infrastructure.

Why is it relevant to OGP values? Because it promotes accountability on the part of public entities, attending to the standardized disclosure of infrastructure data in compliance with current regulations and policies on the matter, contributing to access to public information in this sector, thus raising its levels of transparency. Likewise, citizen participation will be encouraged by opening spaces where feedback from various multisectoral actors can be received.
