Abstract

The city of São Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world, full of different socio-economic and cultural realities. Designing and implementing quality public policies in such a diverse environment poses a challenge that can only be met through an open government that ensures that the various social groups that make up the São Paulo metropolis are involved. In order to achieve this goal, São Paulo has emerged as one of the pioneers in promoting the Open Government agenda, an international initiative that, based on four pillars - transparency, social participation, accountability, and innovation and technology - seeks to foster a new form of citizen-centered governance. However, co-creative processes are fraught with challenges that can be highlighted through a case study of the Open Government Action Plans of the city of São Paulo, a series of commitments co-created, co-implemented and co-assessed by the Public Authorities in conjunction with Civil Society, with a certain duration, which aim to guarantee the openness of government, making popular action more participatory in the design, implementation and monitoring of Public Policies at various levels and thematic sectors of the municipality.
