Abstract

This 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.
