Dear All,
Hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share with you that the case studies that document the winning initiatives of the first edition of the Mexican Award for Innovation in Transparency to Improve Institutional Management are now available in English and Spanish in the award’s website. (Apologies for any cross-postings).
This award was announced in August 2010 by the World Bank, the Mexican Federal Institute for Information Access and Data Protection (IFAI), the National Institute of Public Administration (INAP), and the Ministry of Public Administration (SFP).
The purpose of the award was to identify and disseminate, nationally and internationally, examples of best practices and/or innovations related to the disclosure of government data and access to information, information management systems, and mechanisms for facilitating access to public information in Mexico.
Participation was open to public administration offices and entities at the federal, state, and municipal level; the federal and state legislative and judicial branches; as well as federal and local autonomous agencies. A total of 75 proposals were submitted, and 24 of these became finalists. The winning initiatives documented in the case studies are:
- “Transparency via the Web,” presented by the Office of the Attorney-General of Mexico City a Web-based search system for locating individuals in the custody of the Office of the Public Prosecutor;
Information about the second edition of the award, including project submissions and winners is available here.
All best and happy RTK Day!
