The principle of transparency and Electronic Government in Cuba

Abstract

The Electronic Government includes better ways of interaction between Government, companies and society through Information Technology and Communications. Access to visible, available and quality public information quickly and expeditiously improves the perception of the functioning of the institutions in pursuit of Cuba's efforts to advance in the digital transformation. The effectiveness of the principle of transparency from the constitutional mandate obliges the Public Administration to generate updated, reliable and accessible information according to the activity carried out. It is a prerequisite for good administration that involves citizens in decision-making processes as well as balancing their position vis-à-vis the State. It promotes good governance derived from the establishment and management of effective, efficient and accountable institutions.
