I am an Open Government
?Yo soy Gobierno Abierto? (lit. I am Open Government) is an initiative aimed at supporting citizen participation in the process of creating, consulting, implementing and evaluating the second open government plan in Costa Rica, to be executed by Opening Data Costa Rica during the months of April to December, 2015. Through a process of collective construction with representative participation of social organizations and citizens of the six socioeconomic regions of the country, it was sought to generate inputs that lead to proposals for open government commitments for the open government action plan 2015-2017. Participation could be made in the following ways: Attending workshops, discussion groups and other activities or suggesting participants; Commenting on and evaluating the proposals of commitment raised by the participants; Preparing commitment proposals; Informing themselves and following the initiative?s updates; Sharing this initiative and its contents; Sending ideas and questions. The proposals resulting from these activities would be transferred to the discussion tables led by the Government of Costa Rica for their assessment and eventual incorporation into the action plan. The project carried out 15 consultations between June and July, 2015, involving between 50 and 100 people in total, including members of civil society organizations, political youth, officials and entrepreneurs, among others.
