Investigação do portal de transparência como instrumento de participação popular: projeto de implementação do portal de transparência em todos os municípios do Benim

The present research aims to discuss Popular Participation and Democracy, as well as address the importance of a transparency portal in public administration. Furthermore, it intends to develop a project for the implementation of a Transparency Portal for the entire territory of Benin, a small country located in West Africa. It is understood that popular participation implies satisfying the needs of citizens as individuals or as groups, organizations, or associations, enabling them to act through legislative, administrative, or judicial means in support of the public interest, which represents the aspirations of all social segments. The Transparency Portal, in turn, can be characterized as a tool developed to allow society to monitor the use of all public resources, thereby enabling a more active participation in the discussion of public policies. In other words, it serves as a form of social control. Consequently, the following question is formulated: Would it be possible to adopt the Transparency Portal as an instrument of popular participation in Benin in order to promote more efficient public administration? The objectives include analyzing the creation of a Transparency Portal in the current context, with the purpose of establishing a manual for implementing this tool in Benin. Additionally, the research will focus on discussing the chosen theme, considering Salvador as the specific city under study. As for the methodology, the study is based on basic research with a bibliographic nature, incorporating in-depth case studies, exploratory objectives, and a qualitative approach, as it encompasses all these stages. The results indicate that popular participation is of fundamental importance in a country's democratic process; however, it is necessary for citizens to recognize their rights and duties in order to achieve a fair and egalitarian society. In conclusion, it is stated that Salvador's Transparency Portal fulfills the requirements of openness, providing a clear display of data, and it is expected that with the creation of a Transparency Portal for Benin, the country will be able to appropriate and make good use of it in the interest of a democratic society.
