Level of active transparency of Local Social Security Systems of municipalities in state of Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

The present study sought to measure the level of active transparency of the Local Social Security Systems (RPPSs) of municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. To this end, the Indicator of Active Transparency of RPPSs (RITA) was constructed, supported by the observations present in the Access to Information Law (LAI), as well as in the RPPS Pro-Management Manual. The number of RPPSs in the sample for this study was 50 entities. The data for measuring the RITA were collected in each RPPS’s institutional web portal. The results show that only 30% of the RPPSs analyzed showed a level of active transparency between moderate (11) and desired (4).
