The State of Jalisco, Mexico, has published a new Infrastructure Transparency Index (ITI). The ITI, a tool developed by CoST – Infrastructure Transparency Initiative – measures progress in strengthening transparency in public infrastructure, while identifying opportunities to improve how projects are delivered and monitored.

The findings show that Jalisco has a strong legal and institutional foundation for transparency, with positive examples of information being published across infrastructure projects. Executive branch institutions show stronger performance.

At the same time, there are opportunities to build on this progress by strengthening how information is consistently published across all project stages, improving institutional capacity, and expanding how citizens engage with and use published infrastructure data.

These findings point to practical areas for improvement. Strengthening how information is published and used can help ensure infrastructure projects are better understood, monitored, and delivered in line with public needs.

The report sets out clear recommendations to support this, including improving data publication practices, strengthening institutional processes, and expanding opportunities for citizen engagement.

This publication is part of CoST’s global ITI Week, where members are publishing new assessments to drive improvements in infrastructure transparency and accountability.
