Abstract

This article addresses transparency and access to public information, focusing primarily on the impact of the Organic Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information (LOTAIP) on social oversight and institutional trust. Transparency and access to public information are fundamental pillars of contemporary democratic systems, facilitating social oversight and strengthening citizen trust in state institutions. In Ecuador, the LOTAIP serves as the main regulatory instrument for guaranteeing these rights and promoting open and accountable public management. This article analyzes the impact of the LOTAIP on the exercise of social oversight and the building of institutional trust, examining its regulatory scope, implementation mechanisms, and the main challenges it faces in practice. Using an analytical-descriptive approach, the article reviews the evolution of the legal framework, the obligation of proactive disclosure by public entities, and the role of citizens as active subjects of the right of access to information. It reflects on the tensions between the formal recognition of the right and its real effectiveness, considering institutional, cultural and administrative factors that affect its fulfillment.
