The highly complex times that society is going through demand from the public administration innovative and inclusive schemes and actions from the various stakeholders so that the government becomes the coordinator of efforts towards the pursuit of community development, that is where open government, with its principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration, promotes the generation of policies based on consensus. The objective of the article was to discuss the importance of open government as a strategic alternative for governance in local governments, and in turn, propose broad lines of action that these spheres of government can deploy in order to initiate or consolidate their line of open government. The presentation included background information on governance, open government, diagnosis of municipalities, recommendations and considerations. The findings highlighted that Mexican municipalities lack institutionalization of open government efforts, personal styles of government and dispersed actions were appreciated, human development is highly correlated with open government actions, evidencing the importance of context in politics. Open government proposals were included to be implemented by municipalities.
