A evolução da transparência nos ministérios públicos do Nordeste entre os anos de 2021 e 2023

Abstract

This article analyzes the evolution of public transparency in the Public Prosecutor's Offices of the Northeast from 2021 to 2023, highlighting the importance of transparency portals as essential tools for promoting access to information and strengthening citizenship. The research addresses the main changes implemented, the challenges faced, and the impact of these initiatives on government action oversight and citizen participation promotion. Using a critical and analytical approach, the study investigates how these tools contribute to building a culture of transparency and social participation, which are fundamental for strengthening democracy in Brazil. As a result, there was a significant evolution in transparency, especially in 2022 with a 64.58% increase in items evaluated on the CNMP portal. Furthermore, most northeastern states had some very positive variations, with 5 of them reaching the maximum level of 525 items covered (100%). Thus, even though it was verified that some of the percentages decreased, it was highlighted that this occurred amid the doubling of the charging level, as the number of evaluated items went from 319 to 525. Thus, it is expected that the understanding of the evolution transparency in Public Ministries in the Northeast region can contribute to the formulation of public policies that improve accountability and responsible management
