The objective of the Regional Index of Parliamentary Transparency project (hereafter referred to as RIPT) was to design and implement a methodological instrument that would allow us to make a comparative analysis of the levels of transparency and access to information from the Congresses in Chile, Argentina and Guatemala, thus establishing a minimum standard of transparency in the administrative and legislative affairs of these institutions. The RIPT seeks to become a point of reference in terms of transparency for use in managing such issues by the different Congresses in the region.
