Abierto al público Open Data in Developing Economies: Translating Learning into Practice - Abierto al público

"Our research made clear that – in Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond – many developing countries face specific challenges that open data could help address. Trust in government, for example, is notably lacking in many developing countries. Making data on public activities more open and accessible could help increase citizen trust in governance, and amplify its value as innovators outside government put it to new and previously unexpected uses.

Yet success is not a given. We also found several examples that ran into challenges. Only by learning from what worked and what didn’t will we increase the likelihood that open data truly positively impacts people’s lives."
