The Internet, social media, smartphones, and access to real-time information have not only made people’s daily lives easier, but have changed citizens’ expectations of how products and services are delivered. This shift affects not only the way citizens view and interact with businesses; it has also raised expectations in their interactions with government.
People are demanding transparency, accountability, access to information and competent service delivery from their governments. They also expect policies and services to be tailored to their needs and address their concern

This document presents a study of the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service (IGEES). IGEES seeks to improve policymaking in Ireland by providing economic and analytical expertise across government departments. The study analyzes how IGEES has contributed to more evidence-informed policymaking. It finds that IGEES has helped strengthen analytical capacity and build an evidence base, producing many outputs. However, data availability and use needs improvement, as does leadership for analytical work. The report recommends greater IGEES governance coherence, developing skills and a policymaking community, leveraging IGEES to improve evaluation quality, and broadening dissemination of IGEES work.

OECD Recommendation on Principles for Independent Fiscal InstitutionsOECD Governance
On 13 February 2014, the OECD Council adopted the Recommendation of the Council on Principles for Independent Fiscal Institutions. Geared towards Member countries that have established or are considering establishing an independent fiscal institution (IFI), the Principles codify lessons learned and good practices that are firmly grounded in the experience of IFIs to date. The Principles seek to reinforce the core values that IFIs both promote and operate under – independence, non-partisanship, transparency, and accountability – while demonstrating technical competence and producing relevant work of the highest quality that stands up to public scrutiny and informs the public debate. As such, they aim to assist countries to design an enabling environment
conducive to the good performance of an IFI and to ensuring its long-run viability.
As Global thought leader on Digitalization of Governments, I was asked to address the Minister of ICT and Senior Government leaders at a conference in Port Louis. My first presentation was around how Governments can leapfrog using ICT. The key message is that Governments carefully need to assess the right path of development to ensure right service for right citizen.

This document summarizes key points from the OECD's 2015 Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard. It finds that Japan, along with other countries, faces productivity challenges and slowing population growth, making innovation imperative. However, Japanese living standards are below the OECD average. The document discusses the need to invest in broader knowledge beyond R&D, develop frontier technologies, and support long-term government research. International collaboration and mobility are important for strengthening research capabilities. While a few countries and companies dominate in research and innovation, greater efforts are needed to engage firms in global innovation networks.
The document summarizes key findings from the OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2015. It finds that a small number of countries, institutions, and businesses concentrate frontier technologies and high-impact science. Government support is important for long-term research to address global challenges. International collaboration and scientist mobility help spread innovation more widely. The Scoreboard monitors innovation performance across countries according to pillars like knowledge, skills, competitiveness, and societal impacts.
The document summarizes the work of the Moldova Innovation Lab, which aims to improve public services and policies in Moldova. The Lab works to redesign public services through simplifying processes and digitizing services.

Current projects include streamlining residence registration and helping migrants find work, as well as gathering community feedback to better inform local planning. The Lab brings together experts and partners to apply skills like service design, data analysis, and citizens engagement to pilot innovative solutions for public authorities in Moldova.
Open Government Data Ecosystems: Linking Transparency for Innovation with Tra...Luigi Reggi
Presentation at IFIP EGOV 2016 Conference. September 5, 2016.
Abstract. The rhetoric of open government data (OGD) promises that data transparency will lead to multiple public benefits: economic and social innovation, civic participation, public-private collaboration, and public accountability. In reality much less has been accomplished in practice than advocates have hoped. OGD research to address this gap tends to fall into two streams – one that focuses on data publication and re-use for purposes of innovation, and one that views publication as a stimulus for civic participation and government accountability - with little attention to whether or how these two views interact. In this paper we use an ecosystem perspective to explore this question. Through an exploratory case study we show how two related cycles of influences can flow from open data publication. The first addresses transparency for innovation goals, the second addresses larger issues of data use for public engagement and greater government accountability. Together they help explain the potential and also the barriers to reaching both kinds of goals.
Ukraine has been a member of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) since 2011. Its current action plan has 26 commitments related to access to information, civic engagement, e-government, and anti-corruption. The next plan should focus on implementing and enforcing laws passed. Despite political difficulties, Ukraine has made significant progress passing open government laws. It should participate in peer learning and exchange through OGP working groups and meetings to focus on areas like public procurement and reducing red tape.

Croatia joined the Open Government Partnership in 2012 and has released two action plans to promote transparency, citizen participation, and open data. The first action plan from 2012-2013 focused on fiscal transparency, access to information, IT use, and citizen participation. The second plan from 2014-2016 prioritized access to information, open data, transparency of public policies, and citizen participation in policy development and monitoring. Croatia has taken steps to institutionalize public consultations, including appointing consultation coordinators, training civil servants, and creating guidelines and standardized processes for conducting and reporting on consultations. The number of public consultations held each year has increased significantly, from 48 in 2011 to 544 in 2014.

OECD Draft Principles on Digital Government Strategiesadamlerouge
The document discusses the need for digital strategies in government given fiscal constraints, rising expectations of citizens, and the paradigm shift from governments as providers to enablers. It outlines that digital strategies should have three pillars: engage citizens and promote open government to maintain trust, strengthen capabilities to ensure return on ICT investments, and adopt joined-up approaches to deliver public value. The strategies are needed to help governments address complex issues, provide seamless services, and facilitate innovative solutions, especially in key areas like healthcare, education and social security.
This document summarizes a project aimed at accelerating corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in eight Central and Eastern European countries. The project conducted baseline surveys on CSR status in each country. It found that while companies are open to CSR, uptake of practices like governance and reporting is limited. It developed national CSR agendas in seven countries through multi-stakeholder dialogue to coordinate government measures and set priority actions. The agendas addressed challenges like defining CSR and building stakeholder capacities. Priorities included CSR education, supporting civil society, and small business guidance. The project resulted in comparable analysis of CSR across the region and more formalized national CSR structures and cooperation.

During a two-day workshop with What Works Cities (WWC), Vilnius city leaders shared the city's priorities, challenges, and opportunities regarding open data and performance analytics. Vilnius has a strong open data program but needs help building staff capacity to analyze and use data. WWC proposes partnering with Vilnius to improve educational quality and outcomes by developing indicators, mapping processes, and training staff to analyze and report data on kindergartens to help parents make informed decisions. The engagement would focus on building skills that can be applied across departments to improve decision-making.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno
Property appraisals completed in May for downtown Reno’s Community Assistance and Triage Centers (CAC) reveal that repairing the buildings to bring them back into service would cost an estimated $10.1 million—nearly four times the amount previously reported by city staff.

2015 05 26 - OECD Open Government Data review of Poland
1. OPEN GOVERNMENT DATA
REVIEW OF POLAND
Unlocking the value of
government data
Luiz de Mello
Deputy Director
Directorate for Public Governance and
Territorial Development
OECD
26 May 2015, Warsaw
2. Poland’s open government data strategy is the result of
1. Political ambitions
– Ministry of Administration and Digitisation
– National Efficient State Strategy includes OGD
2. EU policy developments
– Late implementation of EU PSI Directive
– Revision of EU PSI Directive
– Structural EU funds (Digital Poland Operational Programme)
3. Polish civil society and municipalities dynamics
– Polish Open Government Coalition and others
– Poznan, Warsaw, Gdansk and others
Recognisable efforts made so far…
3. • Beta version open government data portal (CRIP) launched
in 2014 with some datasets available for download.
• Little stimulation of re-use leads to a low ranking in OECD
OURdata index (open, useful, re-usable government data)
…need to be taken to a next level now

4. Only few years ago today’s OECD leaders in OGD were
at the same stage as Poland. What are they doing?
• Stimulate development of an OGD eco-system.
• Continuously work to show ministries and
agencies that their government data can and will
generate value if opened.
• Improve the coordination mechanisms to identify
good practices and share them.
What is Poland missing to create more
value from open government data?
5. • Ranked 2nd in OECD OUR Government Data Index
• Strong mandate and governance
• Paralleled with strong community engagement
Learning from leaders: France
Governance Community engagement
• “Etalab” – open government data unit
created by Prime Minister’s decree in
2011. Today over 20 people.
• First Director – former Internet
entrepreneur. Second Director too.
• In 2012 – Etalab transferred to Prime
Minister’s State Modernisation
Secretariat
• Since 2015: Etalab Director is also
Government Chief Data Officer
• “DataConnexions” – series of
partnerships, awards, contests and
events since 2012
• Inclusive, not exclusive – awards
attributed in five categories:
administration, business, civic use,
general interest and journalism
• Using champions to illustrate the
value and open the eyes and minds of
the administration step by step
7. 1. Engaging communities: towards an eco-
system and an open government data culture
2. Creating the ambition: from compliance
towards common vision & ownership
3. Creating a narrative: towards proactive
release across government
Three major sets of recommendations to Poland
8. • Intermediate actors can best articulate the needs for data
• Companies can help identify commercial re-use value
• But cooperation and collaboration with non-government actors in
Poland remains limited:
1. Engaging communities: the challenge
Source: OECD survey of Polish central government institutions (2014)
Share of central
government institutions
that have consulted with
specific user groups on
the data they would like
to access
9. • National open government data portal (CRIP): from being a data
repository towards becoming a platform for engagement, collaboration
and data re-use.
• Establish guidelines on data formats, data quality and meta-data – and
facilitate their adaptation through hands-on manuals.
• Clarify licensing and re-use conditions to give all actors long-term
planning horizon.
• Actively explore and manage communities of re-users, e.g. similar to
French “DataConnexions”.
• Establish a panel of businesses that us public sector information, or might
do so in the future, to recognise and illustrate economic potential.
• Leverage local government experiences in Poland – make sure they are
part of the community.
• Raise awareness and build capacities within the administration and
across the society.
Engaging communities: recommendations to Poland
10. • Government aims:
promote re-use for
citizen participation,
better services,
business
opportunities
• Institutions do not
fully share those
ambitions (yet)
• Lack of a common
vision and
objectives
2. Creating ambition: the challenge
Source: OECD survey of Polish central government institutions (2014)
Importance of different driving factors for institutions
Average ranking for the central government; 0 = weak; 10 = strong
11. • Focus on creating collective commitment to the OGD agenda
across the public sector and around common objectives
– Complement the existing legal basis with a persuasive vision and
good illustrations of value creation
– Consider developing an action plan with milestones for specific policy
areas (the action plan can be a developed collaboratively)
– Establish baselines for continuous monitoring of efforts
• Identify cross-cutting barriers that challenge further OGD
implementation
– For example interoperability and statistical anonymity
Creating ambition: recommendations to Poland
12. • Use of data for better policy
making exists in some
institutions
• But dispersed and
heterogeneous capacities
across the administration
mean data is not (yet) used as
a strategic asset
• This is related to
heterogeneous levels of
digitisation across the public
sector
3. Creating narrative: the challenge
Source: OECD survey of Polish central government institutions (2014)
Share of Polish central government institutions that
have an official strategy or policy to better use data
13. • Strengthen the governance of OGD
– For example by nominating a Chief Data Officer to support,
coordinate and lead OGD efforts across government
• Establish a task force / unit that is adequately staffed and has
a clear mandate
– Lead development of OGD strategy
– Supervise cross-government implementation
– Foster an eco-system to stimulate OGD re-use
• Promote domestic champions
– Use awards and other means to raise visibility of domestic success
stories
• Promote sharing of experiences and creation of synergies
within and across levels of government
– Sharing of experiences with local government authorities and local
communities
Creating narrative: recommendations to
Poland
14. National peer reviewers and OECD staff showing appreciation for existing
communities of open government data use in Poland…
15. Thank you.
