GIFT General Stewards Meetings Cascais, Portugal 2018
CPLT and GIFT The Chilean Transparency Council (CPLT) and the Access to Information law were enacted ten years ago (2008). The CPLT -public and autonomous institution- is the only Chilean authority guaranteeing and promoting transparency that participates at GIFT. The CPLT is part of GIFT since 2015. Our goal is to join a network where we can share and learn best practices in matters of fiscal transparency. As an outcome of the participation on this network, in 2016 we did an internship at the Secretary of the Treasury of Mexico. This initiative prompted us to install our first Portal of Budget Transparency. In 2018 we are renewing our commitment and interest to continue participating in this network
TI AND TP The CPLT has specific commitments regarding budget transparency through its Proactive Transparency site http://proactiva.cplt.cl/ Contents: Open data regarding resolutions Statistical information of the summaries and sanctions carried out Datasets regarding the performance of the obliged subjects in the audit processes (TA and DAI) Budget Execution, incorporating TP concepts. Detail of the personnel, and respective remunerations, that works in CPLT. SUJETO ACTIVO This portal allows the user to make the crossings and analysis of the information with a Open Government dynamics.
CITIZENS AND TP The CPLT began this year, a participatory process of consultative nature, through an inclusive, decentralized and cross-sectional information that brought together social, political, economic and cultural actors from all over the country. Budget information was one of the priorities highlighted by the participants: 44% indicated that one of the most relevant areas in which more transparency is needed in the country, has to do with the nation's budget. Participants in the process noted that it is very important to identify the most frequent requests and information needs of citizens; and consider these inputs as a guide to provide proactively, focused and relevant information.
COMMITMENTS Chile is discussing a new law on Access to Information that contains a specific chapter on Budget Transparency (the law already contains some obligations in active transparency). Some elements considered are: To extend the information on budget management that should be published by the State bodies To oblige certain entities receiving public funds to publish information on their structure, budget, annual report and regulatory framework that regulates them To authorize the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic to access banking operations of administrative bodies. Information that will be susceptible to be under the transparency law We are committed to share our experiences at the parliament debate regarding budget transparency and to promote the dialogue with other specific agencies We are committed to deepen and promote the work we do in our site of proactive transparency
