Declaration on Parliamentary Openness: Promoting Transparency & Accessibility

The Declaration on Parliamentary Openness, drafted in 2012, aims to promote transparency in parliamentary information and enable electronic access. It outlines steps for fostering openness and making data easily accessible. The document was a collaborative effort by NDI, Sunlight Foundation, and Latin American Network for Legislative Transparency, aiming to enhance citizen engagement and accountability. To further these goals, organizations provided feedback, with comments incorporated into the final text. The Declaration is available in Spanish for wider dissemination and usage. Future plans include expanding community involvement, engaging reformist parliamentarians, exploring country-specific applications, and devising monitoring tools for parliamentary activities.
