Origin of the XGT
The Network of Transparent Governments of Catalonia was created in 2015 with the aim of facilitating compliance with the Law 19/2014, of December 29, of transparència, access to public information and good governance, to the more than 2.200 entities that make up the local administration of Catalonia. In this way, the Network is constituted as a permanent and stable framework to promote collaboration with municipalities and to foster transparència and open government in public policies.
Currently, the network operates through several working groups that deal with issues of transparència, open data, citizen participation or training aimed at local entities.
