- 1. | 1 ПРОЗОРІСТЬ ТА ВІДКРИТІ ДАНІ В УКРАЇНІ Олексій Соболев, CFA Радник Міністра Інфраструктури
- 2. | 2 У 2015 Закон Про доступ до публічної інформації Важливі зміни • Машиночитаємий формат • Єдиний портал відкритих даних Постанова КМУ • Технічні стандарти • Список наборів даних які мають бути розкртиті в першу чергу • Проактивне розкриття
- 3. ЄДИНИЙ ПОРТАЛ ВІДКРИТИХ ДАНИХ
- 4. ЄДИНИЙ ПОРТАЛ ВІДКРИТИХ ДАНИХ Адмініструється державним агенством з електронного врядування Фінансований донорами та державою Існує API
- 7. ВІДКРИТІ ДАНІ Що розкривати? • Додали 50 наборів в 835 • Провели аудит даних • Провели опитування попиту
- 8. ВІДКРИТІ ДАНІ Що розкривати? • Додали 50 наборів в 835 • Провели аудит даних • Провели опитування попиту • Низька обізнаність громадян • Різні IT системи • Паперовий формат • Низька спроможність ДП
- 10. ВІДКРИТІ ДАНІ Як збирати? • IT система • Консолідація звітів • проста • дешева: $20k • единий сервер • доступ по API
- 11. Construction Sector Transparency Initiative в Україні Нащо? • Відсутня довіра між стейкхолдерами • Головний об’экт будівництва за державний кошт - дороги • Зношена інфраструктура • Відсутнє фінансування • Всі етапи робіт виконує одна державна структура - Укравтодор
- 12. Історія • 2013: Укравтодор (УАД) приєднується до CoST за підтримки Світового Банку • 2014: соціальні та політичні зміни в Україні уповільнили процес реформи • 2015: відповідальність перейшла від УАД до Міністерства Інфраструктури із Трансперенсі Інтернешнл Україна на чолі реформи. • 2015: 4 проекти пройшли відбір для відкриття даних та фінансування урядом ремонтних робіт - серед них відрізок дорого N-01 Київ-Знам’янка. • 2016: інформацію про три пілотні проекти відкрито та опубліковано на офіційному сайті CoST Ukraine. Призначена відповідальна команда. Стратегічні пріоритети • Застосувати стандарти CoST до даних в інфраструктурі вибраних проектів та удосконалити підхід на основі отриманого досвіду. • Поєднувати CoST з іншими ініціативами, щоб уникнути дублювання зусиль та досягти максимального результату. • Відкривати дані та підвищувати гарантії також серед інших інфраструктурних об’єктів. • Допомогти забезпечити значне покращення у співвідношенні ціни і якості інфраструктури та послуг.

Editor's Notes
- Crucial amendments were passed in 2015 to the Law on Public access to information stating that Information should be disclosed proactively and in machine readable format with ability to freely use and reuse. It should be published via a singe government open data portal A minimal level of governmental proactive disclosure was set by the Cabinet of Ministers in the form of a list of required datasets. [next]
- These amendments were developed and lobbied by civil activists. [next]
- All the data is published through a single data.gov.ua portal The portal has an API functionality allowing both automated uploading and downloading Today there is a separate government body administering these activities: State Agency on E-governance . The agency is currently managing the website. [next]
- MINISTRY OF INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVES [next]
- In its current form the Ministry of Infrastructure acts as a holding company for over 250 state owned enterprises (SOEs) with annual revenue above $3bn, being one of the country’s biggest holdings in terms of assets under management. The resources of the Ministry overseeing such complex operations as of Ukrainian Railways, Roads, Post, Ports etc. are limited. The Ministry employs just 256 people and has an annual budget under $2m. The Ministry is also limited in its means to coordinate the enterprises. SOEs operate in over regulated, over politicized and bureaucratic environment with changes happening only after a significant civil and political pressure. Civil society is very supportive of reform efforts but usually lacks information. Courts and state prosecution in Ukraine have not been reformed yet and are considered widely corrupt, inhibiting anti-corruption efforts. In 2015 a special analytical team of the Ministry has identified 15 most widely used corruption schemes employed by the SOEs. 8 of them could be eliminated or significantly reduced with transparency initiatives (e.g. significantly different sales prices to different customers, inflated procurement prices, overstocking, etc.) The Ministry, armed with the recent changes to the Law on Public Access to Information, is pushing for a complete information disclosure transparency of all SOEs under management. [next]
- In order to do this the Ministry developed several projects Open Data The Ministry has carried out a data audit of information inside the Ministry and its SOEs. As a result 50 most interesting datasets have been identified and added to the Cabinet of Ministers decree on open data implementation. Several of the datasets (i.e. historical procurement information and approved SOE budgets) have been published on the Ministry’s website. Demand study was also carried out, to prioritize the efforts releasing the datasets. [next]

- To solve these issues the Ministry, together with business, developed a prototype of a cheap (implementation for 40 biggest SOEs costs under $20’000), easy to use reports consolidation IT system. [next]
- The system is web based, looks like a regular MS Excel spreadsheet and requires almost no special training to use it. The system is in implementation stage as of November 2015. If this project is successful the system will be scaled up to SOEs coordinated by other ministries and other government bodies. [next]
- Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (CoST) Ukraine Background: The main area of public construction in Ukraine is road construction. The main challenges: lack of trust among stakeholders; lack of financing; problems with long term planning in project financing; outdated and depleted infrastructure; lack of transparency in public construction projects; planning, procurement, implementation and control is done by a single government agency - Ukravtodor; unsystematic contractors payments, accumulation of large amounts of debt due to contractors; lack of IT systems in state project management [pause] In such environment any reforms require heavy cooperation between the government, civil society and business. Simple disclosure will not be enough. [next]
- Lesson 4 Capacity Trainings Are Very Important Open data is very new and there is not only lack of capacity among civil servants but also among business, civil society and general public. Simple disclosure will not yield any result without people actually using the information. There is a need for trainings at all levels of government as well as business and NGO. Capacity building is also very needed at local levels.
