Latin American Index of Legislative Transparency for Costa Rica
The Latin American Index of Legislative Transparency for Costa Rica (Span. ILTL) is an evaluation tool developed by the Latin American Network for Legislative Transparency (RLTL), which systematizes a series of minimum standards of transparency in the political, administrative and legislative tasks of the Congresses and Assemblies of the region; in order to arrive at a measurement that becomes a reference for the advances in the transparency levels of those countries in which it is applied. For the first time in 2015, the Citizen Center of Studies for an Open Society Association (ACCESA) began implementing this instrument into the Costa Rican Legislative Assembly, with the purpose of contributing to institutional strengthening by systematizing, monitoring, analyzing and disseminating relevant information about Congress.
