Abstract: Transparency in public management is essential to guarantee social control over the activities of public authorities. This is an extremely important topic, since it is through this that trust is established between rulers and the ruled, in addition to allowing the population to monitor the actions of public authorities. This article presents how transparency mechanisms can be improved in order to ensure greater effectiveness in social control. This involves analyzing the challenges faced by public bodies in implementing transparency mechanisms, as well as identifying good practices adopted by governments and civil society to promote transparency and social control. The article identifies society's main demands in relation to transparency and social control, in order to propose solutions that are capable of meeting citizens' needs. Finally, concrete recommendations are proposed for improving transparency as a tool for social control, contributing to the strengthening of democracy and the promotion of Accountability.
