Overview
Global Integrity is a D.C.-based, nongovernmental organization that, through a network of 900 experts in over 100 countries, generates, synthesizes, and disseminates credible, comprehensive, and timely information on governance and corruption trends around the world. For this grant, GI will be partnering with the Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad to analyze the municipal-state connections and relationships that affect implementation of state-level access to information (ATI) and budget transparency laws in the fifteen largest municipalities in Mexico. With many public services being increasingly delivered at the state and municipal levels, ATI reforms can improve the efficacy of local service delivery by providing greater transparency and by empowering citizens and advocates to demand accountability and improved performance. The ultimate goal is to develop policy proposals that address ATI implementation gaps—both legal and practical. The extensive data gathering required by the project will use a new online platform developed by GI that is also funded by Hewlett.
