- Open Data and Transparency
2023 data available on visits to the AOC-XGOC transparency portals
Since last June 16, the Network of Transparent Governments of Catalonia (XGT), has changed its name to Network of Open Governments of Catalonia (XGOC). The name change is due to the need for the name to go far beyond transparency (understood as active advertising), and also include the concepts of participation or good governance, concepts that already have associated services such as the Decidim.cat (citizen participation portal), the Ethical Mailbox (channel of alerts or complaints), or the self-assessment service in public integrity (to encourage the evaluation of the system of integrity and the management of the risks of the organizations).
With the signing of the new protocol of the XGOC, the expansion of members with the incorporation of Barcelona City Council, which is added to the whole series of institutions that were already part of it. These are the tasks of the different working groups and the new XGOC protocol.
