Open Government National Action Plan
The Open Government National Action Plan seeks to integrate the open government principles of transparency, accountability and citizen participation into Costa Rica's public administration. For this purpose, several Open Government National Action Plans were formulated in a participatory process. Each plan contains commitments to achieve the goals of open government, and citizens, representatives of civil society organizations, and the private sector participated in their preparation. By 2020, four Open Government National Action Plans have been developed, the fourth to be completed by 2021. Participation has been organized using different modalities, such as forums, working groups, and digital consultations.
Institutional design
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?
