To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Open Administration Awards, held on May 20 in El Prat de Llobregat, the AOC presented, in addition to the awards for the seven classic categories, some special awards: the TOP 10 years on the trajectory and the TOP accompaniment to the county councils that stand out for their local support for small municipalities.
Top 10 years
The AOC has recognized the trajectory of those who, within their category, have played a most outstanding role in the last ten years. It is for this reason that this year the following entities have received a special award:
City councils
- Caseres (up to 500 people)
- Vilalba dels Arcs (501 – 1.000 inhabitants)
- Ascó (1.001 – 5.000 inhabitants)
- Llinars del Vallès (5.001 – 20.000 inhabitants)
- Manlleu (20.001 – 50.000 inhabitants)
- Girona (more than 50.000 inhabitants)
County Councils
- Priorat (up to 20.000 inhabitants)
- Bergueda (20.001 – 50.000 inhabitants)
- Girona (more than 50.000 inhabitants)
Within this career award, the town councils of Llinars del Vallès, Manlleu and Girona stand out in particular, which over all these years have achieved a better position in general terms, and which, therefore, stand out for their brilliant track record in promoting digital transformation and open government to improve people's lives.
Top support in small municipalities
The other special category of this edition of the Open Administration Awards was the “Top support”, a category where the AOC wanted to recognize the trajectory of the county councils in terms of supporting small municipalities in their digitalization process. The county councils that received a special award this year were:
- Garrotxa CC
- Solsonès CC
- CC Terra Alta
- CC Bages
Know the degree of digital maturity of your administration
These recognitions are given in accordance with theDigital Maturity Index (IMD) which prepares the AOC and which is determined from the analysis of objective indicators, the data on the use of the AOC services and the analysis of the websites of 947 town councils and 42 county councils.
In this way, local administrations have at their disposal rigorous information to know their state of affairs, their strengths and areas for improvement. Comparisons can also be made with other similar administrations or with those leading the digital transformation.
The IMD is a unique and innovative initiative, both at the national and international level, that allows us to rigorously assess the degree of maturity of a public entity's digital transformation. Indices that measure the development of digital government at the regional or state level are not appropriate for evaluating data at the local level and, in addition, are based on surveys or statistical data, while the IMD uses public and objective open data.
