Resumen

The project aims to promote institutional transparency and accountability through the analysis and dissemination of the 2025 public budget of the Province of Neuquén. It seeks to strengthen citizens’ access to fiscal information by using official data from the Ministry of Economy, Production and Industry. The proposal is based on the findings of Chen and Neshkova (2019), who demonstrated that budgetary transparency reduces perceived levels of corruption, and on the contributions of De Renzio and Wehner (2017) and Abbasov (2025), who argue that fiscal openness and the availability of verifiable information increase public trust and improve governance quality. The methodological approach is grounded in the interpretation and systematization of the main budgetary variables—revenues, transfers, and expenditures—with the purpose of facilitating citizens’ understanding and oversight of the use of public resources. The results of the project show a sustained increase in access to budgetary information and support the hypothesis that effective transparency—understood as the clarity, accessibility, and timeliness of fiscal data—contributes to institutional strengthening and greater informed participation of society.
