Policy Aim
The renewal of the government’s website is intended to improve the usability of regjeringen.no, a joint portal for 17 Norwegian ministries. According to official government documents on file with the IRM researcher, this commitment was created to respond to new communication practices among government actors, new developments in technology, media and web users’ demands, and shortcomings in former technical web solutions. By extension, this commitment aims to improve citizens’ access to information about government and ministry activities and policies.
Status
Mid-term: Complete
This commitment was complete at the mid-term, with a website redesign launched in December 2014. For more information, please see IRM Progress Report 2013-2014.
Did it open government?
Civic participation: Did not change
Access to information: Marginal
The improvements made to the website have enhanced the quality of information disclosed to the public and are considered to represent a marginal improvement in access to information. These improvements include the centralization of disparate information from several ministries and the publishing of archived consultation data, as described under commitment 1. The implementation of user testing in development of the new website is relevant to civic participation, but the IRM researcher does not consider this to have had a meaningful impact on civic participation in Norway.
Carried forward?
This commitment has not been carried forward in the Norwegian government’s third national action plan, which is available on the OGP website.[Note 43: ”Norway’s third action plan Open Government Partnership (OGP),” Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation, accessed September 4, 2016, http://www.opengovpartnership.org/wp-content/uploads/2001/01/Norway_2016-17_NAP.pdf.]
