Latin American Network for Legislative Transparency
The Latin American Network for Legislative Transparency is a group of civil society and academic organizations that work together in overseeing and analyzing the transparency achievements and shortcomings of the legislative branches in the region. The Network was created in 2010 and Argentina has been present in the organization since its foundation. Among other publications, the organizations collaborate in the periodic publication of an index that systematically measures improvements and flaws in the countries? efforts towards transparency and citizen participation in legislative processes. The 2018 index shows, in the case of Argentina, progress in terms of transparency when compared to the values of the 2016 index.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
