Sumario:This is an academic contribution which seeks to highlight the level of transparency in public access to information in the 221 Autonomous Decentralized Government (GAD) entities in Ecuador. It involved a concept-level analysis of progress in regard to the progress of the right to access public information in Ecuador at the municipality level. Legally speaking, the most noteworthy aspects involving compliance by the GADs with Article 7 of the Organic Law of Transparency and Access to Public Information (LOTAIP) were observed in the context of sharing public information and the active transparency index (ITA). By applying an observational method, 221 web pages were assessed for transparency, as well as a comparative analysis of the active transparency index by Fundación Ciudadanía y Desarrollo (FCD). This study was directed towards a theoretical substantiation on public administration paradigms and a comparative analysis for the period 2018-2020, demonstrating an increase in the non-compliance of the Law by the entities analyzed going from 68,78 % in 2018 to 85,07 % in 2020.
