Transparência Pública e Accountability informações em tempo de pandemia

Abstract

It presents an evaluation of the transparency portals of Brazilian capitals and the Federal District, regarding the characteristics that allow accountability, in relation to emergency hiring in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, adopting the data collection methodology of TransparencyInternational Brazil. The research was based on the evidentiary method, which prioritizes evidence or traces and has an exploratory and qualitative character, with a documentary strategy. The results reveal that most Brazilian capitals and the Federal District meet the characteristics that allow accountability. It can be said that the portals of Brazilian capitals and the Federal District are transparent, with the exception of the transparency portal of the municipalities of Cuiabá and Maceió. In the context of COVID-19, transparency portals are capable of offering transparency and accountability so that citizens can be aware of the public resources allocated to actions to combat the pandemic
