Line of action: Public integrity and corruption prevention
With the aim of strengthening public integrity and preventing corruption, the following initiatives will be promoted to consolidate a more transparent and resilient institutional ecosystem:
- Uruguay Corruption Observatory.
- Open data for the prevention and fight against corruption.
- Anti-corruption clauses to reinforce integrity in public procurement.
- Reinforcement of Reporting Channels and Protection of Whistleblowers.
- Refinement of the System for Sworn Declarations of Assets and Income.
- Publication of Political Party Financing Data in Open Format.
The creation of the Uruguayan Corruption Observatory is aimed at generating reliable information, fostering citizen oversight, and supporting the design of public policies. It is intended to promote the opening and standardization of public data, applying the guidelines of the OAS Inter-American Program on Open Data Against Corruption (PIDA).
In the area of public procurement, anti-corruption clauses will be incorporated into tender documents, strengthening the regulatory framework for preventing and punishing irregularities. Reporting channels will also be improved, creating safer and more accessible systems for citizens, by strengthening governance mechanisms.
Law No. 19,797 of September 2019 will be further regulated to optimize the system for filing sworn declarations of assets and income by obligated public officials, ensuring greater traceability and transparency. Finally, data on the financing of political parties will be published in an open format, and a visualization tool will be developed with contributions from civil society organizations to facilitate its interpretation and public analysis.
