Summary
The policy defines transparency as a democratic value and mandates that Transforma make most of its operational information public, including annual financial statements and project reports. It establishes a system of 'active transparency' through public knowledge spaces and 'passive transparency' via formal information request channels. While the general rule is open access—with products shared under Creative Commons licenses—confidentiality is maintained for specific partner agreements or directive decisions. The policy applies to all staff and contractors and is supported by communication channels such as WhatsApp, email, and the organization's website.
Key insights
- Transforma commits to a high level of operational transparency by publicly disclosing specific documents, including annual financial statements and project status reports approved by the Executive Direction and Board of Directors, as well as all operational policies and legal documents required by Colombian law for non-profit entities.
- The organization implements an open financial tracking and accounting system accessible to all members, including project-specific budgets, although editing rights are restricted to the Executive Direction and the accounting team.
- Most organizational outputs, such as databases, infographics, and graphics, are shared under Creative Commons licenses and remain open to the public unless explicit confidentiality agreements with partners prevent this.
- Confidentiality is treated as an exception to the general rule of open information. Material is only classified as confidential if explicitly requested by partners or decided by the Executive or Board of Directors, and such files must be clearly marked in the title and content.
- The policy defines 'active transparency' through induction sessions, annual workshops, and a public 'Knowledge Space' for policies, while 'passive transparency' is managed through data protection policies and formal request forms.
