Andorra Government Meets Only 54% of Transparency Obligations in 2025

Andorra's government met just 54% of its active transparency obligations in 2025, marking a decline from previous years, according to the latest report from the Transparency and Public Information Access Unit (Utaip) under the State Secretariat for Equality and Citizen Participation.

The assessment, based on 26 indicators, awarded a green rating—indicating full compliance—for 14 items. Ten received yellow marks for partial fulfilment, while two were rated red, showing no publication of required data. This represents a step backward compared to the 2021 evaluation, which used 24 indicators and found 19 in green, three in yellow, and two in red.

Utaip identified common issues behind partial compliance: failure to publish 100% of mandatory data, indirect access via links on the transparència.ad portal rather than direct display, and delays in updates. Affected areas include general administration tenders, filled or vacant positions, annual and multi-year plans, general reports, modified or extended contracts, and details on dependent entities, affiliates, and linked organisations.

In two red-rated cases—covering labour and union agreements, plus service charters—Utaip noted that the information simply does not exist, despite legal requirements to produce and publish it.

The report praised the use of straightforward language, tables, and summaries to make content accessible to the general public. However, it called for targeted actions to enhance access, including mechanisms for people with disabilities or special needs. It also recommended clarifying rules on data reuse and strengthening communication between transparency managers and department heads, a relationship described as challenging.

Overall, the findings highlight ongoing hurdles in meeting the Transparency, Public Information Access, and Open Government Law, with Utaip urging improvements to reverse the downward trend.
