The researcher will be asked to respond to review comments and to update the answers, justifications and sources where required. This document provides access to links and instructions about the review process.Item Open Access Africa data revolution report 2016 : highlighting developments in African data ecosystems(2016) van Belle, Jean-Paul; Nzayisenga, Canisius; Akanbi, Olusegun; Selassie, Solomon; Mdadila, KennethThis first edition of the biennial Africa Data Revolution Report aims to address issues in transforming data ecosystems. It maps the current system in terms of purpose, actors, principles and protocols; legal, legislative and policy frameworks; technological infrastructure, tools and platforms; and dynamic interactions between purposes, technologies and systems. Official statistics (what and who gets counted) can be and have been used as tools for social, economic and political exclusion and segregation in Africa, especially under colonial and apartheid rule. The report makes recommendations regarding what actions African countries can take to maximize the positive, and mitigate potentially negative impacts of the data revolution.Item Open Access Africa data revolution report 2018 : the status and emerging impact of open data in Africa(2018-11) Van Belle, Jean-Paul; Lämmerhirt, Danny; Iglesias, Carlos; Mungai, Paul; Nuhu, Hubeidatu; Hlabano, MbongeniOpen data readiness in government appears to be fairly low and not institutionalized. Strong regional champions are needed to demonstrate the benefits and impacts of an enduring, committed, well-resourced open data initiative. In spite of this, opening up election data has had immeasurable positive impacts on the transparency and acceptance of key elections in three of the six country cases: Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Kenya. Given the humanitarian cost of violent elections, even a few open election events justifies Open Government Data (OGD) in Africa. This detailed report begins an account of open data initiatives in African countries.Item Open Access Apertura y uso de datos para hacer frente al COVID-19 en América Latina(Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), 2021) Vásquez Valdivia, ÁlvaroItem Open Access Assessing open governance data in South Cotabato(2014)The Province of South Cotabato is located in the southern part of the Philippines with a long tradition of participatory governance processes. The impact of providing information to citizens through the government website is still very low at this stage. South Cotabato’s website focuses more on tourism and investment promotion. Apart from information on local government leaders and on recent activities of the government published as news articles, there is little governance information contained in the website. This one-page brief reviews available open governance data.Item Open Access Avaliando os websites de transparência orçamentária nacionais e subnacionais e medindo impactos de dados abertos sobre direitos humanos no Brasil(Instituto de Estudos Socioeconômicos, 2014-07) Craveiro, Gisele; Tavares, Marcelo; Beghin, Nathalie; Zigoni, CarmelaItem Open Access Barómetro regional de datos abiertos para América Latina y el Caribe 2020(2020) Fumega, Sylvana; Zamora, David; McNaughton, MauriceItem Open Access Case study : open government data in Rio de Janeiro city(2014-08) Matheus, Ricardo; Maia Ribeiro, ManuellaThis case study of Rio de Janeiro examines challenges for local public sector organizations in terms of agenda setting, formulation of public policy, implementation and evaluation channels/models. It has six further sections related to: emergence of open data policy; policy design; supply and information resources; users; impacts; and final considerations. In 2014 the Open Data Portal of Rio de Janeiro was launched, alongside the Decree of Open Government and Data of the City Hall. More bottom-up elements would help create balance between public participation in open data usage via civil society and highly trained teams, to enhance transparency inside the government.Item Open Access Case study report on investigation of the use of the online national budget of Nigeria(2014-07) Mejabi, Omenogo Veronica; Azeez, Adesina L.; Adedoyin, Adeyinka; Oloyede, Muhtahir Oluwaseyi; McNaughton, MauriceThis case study investigates the use of online government budget data in Nigeria, and the availability of government open data. It looks at both the supply side (government officials making data available) and the demand side of open data (intermediaries and end users who access, process and make use of it). Key findings indicate that there is a growing awareness of open data and its uses. Media and social media use of budget data can generate interest and engagement with budget issues. Licensing requirements for open data are unclear and there is significant potential for greater use of open budget data.Item Open Access ¿Cuán abiertos están los datos públicos? : el barómetro de datos abiertos de América Latina y el Caribe 2020(2021) Zapata, Enrique; Scrollini, Fabrizio; Fumega, SilvanaItem Open Access Datos abiertos en paises en desarrollo(World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-09) Davies, Tim¿Cómo pueden los países en desarrollo obtener todos los beneficios de los datos abiertos? ¿Cómo se pueden implementar iniciativas de datos abiertos en formas que respondan al contexto local? ¿Cuáles son las barreras que impiden que se consiga un mayor impacto? Para responder a este tipo de preguntas, la Red de Investigación “Explorando los impactos emergentes de los Datos Abiertos en países en desarrollo” (ODDC, por sus siglas en inglés) ha estado realizado estudios de investigación sobre las actividades en relación con los datos abiertos en trece países diferentes de tres continentes. Utilizando métodos de investigación de casos de estudio, 17 socios de investigación locales han tratado de comprender las dinámicas de la provisión, la intermediación y la utilización de los datos abiertos en varios contextos: desde la revisión detallada de los presupuestos generales a la supervisión de los sistemas judiciales. Este informe ofrece 15 perspectivas emergentes a modo de síntesis preliminar de esta investigación, y que se proponen como base para futuras conversaciones sobre la materia.Item Open Access Datos para el desarrollo : el camino por recorrer(2021) Scrollini, Fabrizio; Clancy, Katie; Fumega, Silvana; Ruiz, Ana Sofia; Schwartz, DavidItem Open Access Drivers of data for development : exploring the factors that enable availability and utility of open data for development in Africa(2020-05) Lansana, Amos Simche; Migisha, Claude; Minjire, Dickson; Juma, Linet; Adan, Sulekha; Alemu, WorkuThis paper provides evidence regarding creating an enabling environment for the implementation of successful, adequately resourced open data for development (OD4D) initiatives in Africa, that can catalyse sustainable development outcomes. It also examines the barriers to OD4D, with examples from country case studies. The World Bank defines development data as the data produced by country vital statistics systems (census, national statistical offices, government ministries and agencies) on a country’s social, economic and environmental issues. Creating an enabling environment for the publication and use of data for development is critical for inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development outcomes in Africa.Item Open Access Embedding open data practice : developing indicators on the institutionalisation of open data practice in two African governments(UCT IP Unit, 2015-06) Schalkwyk, François van; Willmers, Michelle; Schonwetter, TobiasThe research examines aspects of change processes within African institutions, including multiple levels of government. Assigning open data licenses to datasets is the focus of the study, as a unified legal framework around open datasets is viewed as particularly important. Three indicator categories were developed in order to measure change, each of which relates to the uptake of, and possible tension inherent in open data practice at both the middle and under-structure levels of governmental organization. Project findings suggest there are clearly tensions to resolve in terms of reconciling values and norms across organizational levels that make up governments.Item Open Access Embedding open data practice : developing indicators on the institutionalization of open data practice in two African governments(World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2015-06) van Schalkwyk, François; Willmers, Michelle; Schonwetter, TobiasWhat are the socio-technical conditions under which open data initiatives in public agencies are likely to succeed in institutional domains? Is open data practice being embedded in African governments? With its focus on developing country contexts, the research of the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries project, combined with this study, contribute to better understanding of change processes in institutions. The study measures open data practice at all levels of government to develop a deeper understanding of embedded barriers as well as enablers of change. Licensing indicates compliance with a fundamental tenet of open data: unrestricted re-use.Item Open Access Emerging impacts in open data in the judiciary branches in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay(World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-08) Elena, Sandra; Aquilino, Natalia; Pichón Rivière, AnaPolicies for openness and use of data can improve accountability as well as the efficiency of judicial systems. This study focuses on the openness of judiciary branch data and its impact in Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay). Findings and recommendations are associated with communicating the lessons learned, strengthening networks, and promoting cooperation among the various stakeholders involved. It is noteworthy that as intermediaries, civil society organizations help clarify and present information to the public while reducing the necessity of technical knowledge for comprehension. Data from the three countries is analysed and compared in terms of transparency and open governance.Item Open Access Emerging impacts in open data in the judiciary branches in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay : case study(2014-08) Elena, Sandra; Aquilino, Natalia; Pichón Rivière, AnaThis study focuses on the openness of judiciary branch data and its impact, analyzing the context and configuration of governance in general terms in Latin America, and in particular the countries included in the study. Consideration is given to the relevant characteristics and actions adopted by executive and legislative branches, with focus on the political and governance context of the judiciary. The purpose is to obtain evidence and methods of approach that contribute to informed debate among decision-makers, towards enabling actions based on evidence, including concrete actions that might be possible through publicizing and use of data.Item Open Access Evaluation of the Open Data for Development Program : final report(2017-05) Acevedo Ruiz, Manuel; Pena-Lopez, IsmaelThe evaluation focuses on both accountability and learning, providing accountability to the program's management and organizational governance structures for program results. In order to inform future programming on open data for development (OD4D), it reflects upon OD4D implementation and themes. The evaluation report addresses five topics: (1) Results (2) Design (3) Management (4) Policy and (5) Gender. The program both created and or made substantial contributions to various initiatives that resulted in numerous products, diversified by geographical domain and type. These are reported on in terms of outputs and outcomes.Item Open Access Exploring the emerging impacts of open aid data and budget data in Nepal(Freedom Forum, Kathmandu, NP, 2014-08) Sapkota, Krishna; Dennison, Louisa; Room, VictoriaThis study provides a baseline of information regarding the aid and budget data landscape in Nepal. It presents an understanding of interactions of key stakeholders working in the open data ecosystem, and documents Nepal’s governance context. The study focuses on three groups of stakeholders within the open data ecosystem: data providers, data intermediaries and data users, and reveals that there is a gap between open data efforts, and the information needs and practices of civil society and journalists. It is part of the larger project “From Data to Development: Exploring the Emerging Impact of Open Government Data in Developing Countries”.Item Open Access Exploring the emerging impacts of open aid data and budget data in Nepal(World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-09) Sapkota, KrishnaNepal underwent a second Constituent Assembly (CA) election in November 2013, an important precursor for transparent and accountable governance. This case study explores whether and how open data can make a relevant contribution to governance and inclusive citizen empowerment. The project sought to understand interactions of key stakeholders and to develop recommendations for intelligent action in the future. In countries like Nepal, where internet access is low, mainstream media are vital open data intermediaries. The study revealed that there is a gap between open data efforts and the information needs and practices of civil society and journalists in Nepal.
