Cristal: A Tool for Transparent Government in Argentina |
E-mail: Cristal Government initiative | Unit: | |
Answer: The mission of the Cristal Government initiative, launched by the current administration, is to disseminate online, and in an easily understood format, all information concerning the use of public funds in Argentina. This includes information not only about the amounts of money devoted to different programs, but also how these funds are administered. | Hampstead Heath, London, in April | |

New President promised to head anti-corruption organization | ||||||
Perceptions of government corruption were a major political issue in the Argentine electoral campaign of 1999. The ALIANZA candidate for president, Fernando de la Rua, promised that, if elected, he would head a Gobierno de Cristal, eliminating the corrupt practices that periodically came to light during the previous adminstration, and thereby restore citizens' confidence in government. | ||||||
A New Approach | ||||||
The information of the Cristal site is organized around three thematic areas: (i) "The State Within Reach of All": explains how public monies are redistributed between the national government and provinces (ii) "Goals and Results": gathers information on all national policies to evaluate their management and the manner in which public funds are assigned (iii) "Accountability of Representatives": consolidates information related to the control of corruption, both in government and the non-governmental sector. The site is audited externally by Foro Transparencia, a body made up of 15 non-governmental organizations concerned with government transparency. | ||||||
The Law provides stability of the program | ||||||
The existence of the Fiscal Responsibility Law has been important as a legal anchor for the Cristal site. The Law also provides stability and continuity for the program. The information required by the Fiscal Responsibility Law must be gathered from a multitude of different government agencies. To obtain the cooperation of managers in these agenies, those responsible for the Cristal site have stressed that it can bring positive publicity to their initiaitves. Many agencies are improving their data gathering practices in response to the site's requests. |
