Evaluation
The article 38 of the Law 19/2013, of December 9, on transparency, access to public information and good governance, entrusts the Council of Transparency and Good Governance (LTAIBG), among other functions, to evaluate the degree of application of the law by the different subjects obligated, preparing annually a report that will include information on the fulfillment of the obligations foreseen and that will be presented to the Cortes Generales.
To this end, in the CTBG we assess compliance with the obligations of active advertising (the information that must be published by the obligated subjects on their websites or transparency portals) and the management of the right of access to public information (the specific requests for public information made to them by citizens).
In this section you can consult, organized by years, our Evaluation Plans (which determine the specific entities that we will evaluate each year), as well as the corresponding evaluation reports of each entity, which we publish on our website at the conclusion of the evaluation of the group to which they belong, regardless of the summary that is then collected in the annual memory. The reports contain recommendations to improve the degree of compliance and highlight good practices that can be applied by other entities. Next to each report, the observations or comments made by the evaluated entity are also published.
For the purposes of the evaluation, the subjects required by the LTAIBG are ordered in the following groups: (I) constitutional bodies and bodies of constitutional importance, (II) General Administration of the State, (III) bodies and entities of the Institutional Public Sector of the State, (IV) Public Law Corporations, (V) Autonomous Communities, (VI) Local Entities, (VII) private law entities receiving public subsidies and aid.
To carry out the evaluations we use the MESTA methodology (Methodology of Evaluation and Monitoring of the Transparency of Public Activity), developed in collaboration with the former State Agency for the Evaluation of Public Policies and of the Quality of Public Services (AEVAL). Given the volume of subjects required in some categories, the statistical sampling procedure is used to select the entities that will be analyzed each year. For more information on this methodology:
