Item 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 Barómetro regional de datos abiertos para América Latina y el Caribe 2020(2020) Fumega, Sylvana; Zamora, David; McNaughton, MauriceItem Open Access Datos para el desarrollo : el camino por recorrer(2021) Scrollini, Fabrizio; Clancy, Katie; Fumega, Silvana; Ruiz, Ana Sofia; Schwartz, DavidItem Open Access Full disclosure policy is nice but not enough(2014) ODDCThe Philippines is one of eight pioneering countries that founded the Open Government Partnership (2011). The partnership calls for greater availability of government information to the public as well as implementation of standards of transparency and accountability. This one-pager finds that while the Full Disclosure Policy made possible provision of information, it failed to acknowledge the awareness, interest, needs, and capabilities of its intended audience. Supplying information to the public is only meaningful when the information complies with the needs of citizens in a format that they are able to understand.Item Open Access Guide to open government and the coronavirus : open response + open recovery(2020-10-14) Open Government Partnership (OGP)The coronavirus pandemic requires exceptional government responses in terms of new policies and approaches, that are being tested in real-time. Organized by different policy areas, the guide explains the relevance of each topic to COVID-19 response and recovery, summarizes key recommendations, includes examples of real-time projects and policies, and provides embedded links to more information. The guide is targeted towards open government researchers and reformers who are looking for practical ideas, tools and resources that can be adapted to their particular context. Many in the open government community are deeply involved in their country’s response and recovery.Item Open Access Mekong women in open data in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam : overall trends, case studies, what next?(Open Development Initiative, 2020-10) Chung, Mia; Chung, Pyrou; Chung, Pyrou; Purohit, Manali; Zenoff, AlexandraThe research highlights significant inequalities in the open data landscape and in the development sector where data reflect existing privilege, class and race. In Mekong countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Vietnam) the means to collect, consolidate, and maintain data collection have been developed within male dominated, bureaucratic, hierarchical systems. Equitable access to meaningful data and information is at the core of the Open Development Initiative mandate. The pervasiveness of lived impacts of gender inequalities requires cross‐cutting changes at a systemic level, from multiple perspectives at once. All four countries face challenges due to poverty and inequality, low accountability, transparency and lack of governance.Item Open Access Open data leaders network digest(2016) Open Data Institute; Duhaney, Dawn; Munteanu, Flavia; Davis, Laura; Philpott, Adrian; Scott, AnnaWhile this digest focuses on challenges for civil servants, many of the techniques and lessons discussed apply to open data leaders in private or third-sector organisations. The digest represents a collection of reflections from leaders of open data initiatives about their experience in driving change, with insights about enabling governance reform, working in coalition, tackling implementation challenges, and stimulating innovative uses of data. In some ways, civil servants who innovate with data are performing the tasks of entrepreneurs. The Open Data Institute (ODI) connects, equips and inspires people around the world to innovate with data.Item Open Access Open government data (OGD) and energy resources in India : policy brief(World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-07) Srivastava, NidhiIn the energy resource sector physical and monetary data are easier to obtain and access compared to environmental and social data. The study focuses on the coal, and oil and gas sectors in India. It examines issues of users in access to data, and of government agencies in providing data. The study also explores how related governance deficits can be managed with improved data availability. The policy brief incorporates major milestone events in access to information and data in India such as The National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy, 2012 (NDSAP). Accessing and using data is still problematic.Item Open Access Open Government Data (OGD) and energy resources in India : project brief(2014-07) Srivastava, Nidhi; Aggarwal, VeenaIn India the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP) 2012, provides for sharing of government data. The open data portal of India is evolving in terms of content and design, with only limited data available regarding energy; disaggregated data is collected, but not accessible in the public domain. Physical and monetary data are easier to access in the energy resource sector compared to environmental and social data. Some specific suggestions on improving the quality of government data are presented. This paper is part of the larger project “From Data to Development: Exploring the Emerging Impact of Open Government Data in Developing Countries.”Item Open Access The potential of open data to impact resource allocation for poverty eradication in Kenya and Uganda(World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-05) Lwanga-Ntale, CharlesIn Kenya, strengthening the political and legal aspects of open data is necessary, while in Uganda financial investment in the open data process, building multi-stakeholder engagement, capacity building, and strengthening the legal and political environments, are all important. There was strong evidence in both countries of the need for open data champions who could help to leverage adequate political support and act as potential intermediaries. A digital divide exists between rural and urban settings, and between male and female access to open data drivers. This brief reviews country conditions and offers recommendations for moving towards open data standards.Item Open Access Potential of open data to impact resource allocation for poverty eradication in Kenya and Uganda : policy brief(2014-05) Development Initiatives; Development Research and Training; Lwanga-Ntale, CharlesUganda was the first country in Sub-Saharan Africa to enact legislation on Access to Information, while Kenya was the first to set up an Open Data Web Portal. However, although these governments have created robust legislative frameworks, they have also developed ways around them that undermine openness and transparency. Open development pioneering institutions (individuals, civil society, media, academia) need to work closely with governments to form and execute policy on open development based on a solid legal framework such as Right to Information, and Access to Information acts where non-compliance is a criminal offence punishable by law.
