Transparency and Open Data

Framework with the national Open Data strategy

The Loulé num Click project integrates the national Digital Commercial Neighborhoods initiative, financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), and is aimed at strengthening local economic competitiveness, through the digital capacity building of the commercial fabric, the appreciation of the tourist offer and the promotion of territorial innovation.

The public availability of structured information and data arises from the national legal framework for access and reuse of administrative information, namely:

Law no. 26/2016, of August 22, which regulates access to administrative documents and the reuse of public sector information;

Resolution of the Council of Ministers no. 66/2018, which defines guidelines for the provision of data in open formats by the Public Administration;
Code of Administrative Procedure and other rules relating to the management of public information.
