GobData Elaboration Process
GobData is an initiative of the Transparency, Social Comptrollership and Open Data Association (TRACODA) that aims to promote transparency and reduce corruption in El Salvador. The planning and development of this civic platform was carried out through a participatory process that involved consultations with different actors, including representatives of civil society, journalists, activists, and computer scientists, among others. During these consultations, the needs of citizens in terms of transparency were debated and deliberated upon in order to define a tool that would contribute to this objective. Finally, the GobData platform was designed and implemented, which facilitates access to information, the submission of access requests, and the use of linked data on public procurement and public servants.

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?
