| The objective of the policy is to consolidate the organization and publication processes of the data generated in public institutions to strengthen citizen participation, government transparency, improve the efficiency in public management, promoting research, entrepreneurship and innovation in society. In this way, for example, in the face of the COVID-19 crisis, government entities will have a guide to make information about the behavior of the coronavirus in Ecuador available, thus facilitating its analysis, contributing to decision-making and contributing to generate proposals to face the pandemic. The construction of this policy had contributions from the public, private, Academy, Civil Society, international experts and the support of the Organization of American States (OAS). |
