Commitment Title
Citizenization, redesign, adaptation, and evaluation of the Budget Transparency Platform to improve the experience of user citizenship.
Problem
In recent years, the state of Quintana Roo has gone from incomplete documents, some non-existent, to standardized and itemized budgets; of paper documents without the possibility of generating traceability to information in open and available data, from having low or no levels of transparency to a State Budget Transparency Platform, obtaining 100% compliance in 2022, positioning itself in first place in the State Budget Information Barometer and the IMCO Expenditure Year Information Index. However, there is still a way to go from technocratic transparency to proactive transparency that goes beyond the obligations established by law, and that allows effective citizen monitoring for the prevention of acts of corruption, surveillance of public resources, and for the right to understand with a focus on the experience of user citizenship.
Status quo
In 2022, the Secretary of Finance and Planning of the State of Quintana Roo (SEFIPLAN) presented the Quintana Roo Budget Transparency Platform, a tool that concentrates information on the budget cycle of public policies and programs. To generate improvements in the platform, a series of citizen recommendations were made based on browsing, and a collaboration memorandum was generated with the state government for the citizenization of the platform, integrating these recommendations and generating maximum publicity for it.
Action
Collaboratively contribute to civil society and the state government for the citizenship, redesign, adaptation, and evaluation of the Transparency Platform on the budget cycle of public policies and programs with an emphasis on the experience of the User Citizenship, the right to understand, and access to information.
How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?
Promoting the experience of the Citizens who use the budget transparency platform of the state of Quintana Roo will make it possible to publicize strategic information on the budget cycle, in open data, with a focus on the 2030 Agenda, Human Rights, Gender Perspective and Interculturality, to to identify the traceability of public spending through the stages of planning, programming, budgeting, exercise and control, monitoring, evaluation, and accountability, disaggregated at the level of each budget program and indicators that validate the achievement of the objectives of public policy; focused on the right to understand and effective citizen monitoring.
What long-term goal as identified in your Open Government Strategy does this commitment relate to?
Citizenizing the transparency of the budget cycle through the Platform will allow in-depth knowledge of public management decision-making and government administrative processes, transforming them into inclusive exercises that encourage the active participation of citizens and democratic openness.

What OGP value is this commitment relevant to?
| Access to information | In the construction of results-oriented public administrations that adopt open government mechanisms, it is necessary to have clear, transparent management processes that meet standardized criteria in each of the nodal phases of the budget cycle from a perspective of the right. |
| Technology and Innovation for Transparency and Accountability | This commitment directly addresses the transparency and accountability of the budget cycle, from a perspective of the experience of user citizenship and their right to understand to promote the development of public policies that put citizen needs at the center. |
| Civic Participation | By having a budget transparency platform with a citizen focus, a window is opened towards citizen participation, since with this the capacities of the population are strengthened by bringing concepts and information that by their nature are complex to understand and process. |
