Commitment description
This commitment will enable the establishment of several organizational and practical foundations which provide additional and necessary support for the opening up of public data. This is in view of the importance of this process in entrenching the principles of transparency, reinforcing participatory approach, and promoting integrity in the public sector, in addition to the role of open data in encouraging innovation and technological research. These actions are.
- Issuing a regulatory text that organizes the opening up of public data in Tunisia and clarifies the technical and organizational specifications to be adopted;
- Continuing the implementation of the public data inventory project with the establishment of a preliminary list of public data that will be identified according to a participatory approach, to be published during the first year of implementation of the 3rd OGP action plan for the benefit of several sectors;
- Developing and executing an open data training program for the benefit of various civil servants categories.
Problem/Background
Absence of a legal framework that regulates the opening-up process of public data within public institutions and identifies the shared technical frameworks that can be adopted. In addition, the administration is facing difficulties in the inventory of documents and data that can be published as open data and those that could not be published according the law on access to information.
Identification of commitment objectives/expected results
- Establishing a legal framework which identifies the responsible parties for executing the program within the administration and its relationship with the rest of officials;
- Identifying references and standards to be adopted in this field;
- Capacity building of officials within public institutions to be able to
engage in the open data program;
- Creating synergies and cooperation between administration and civil
society to further open data and promote its re-use.
How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem?
- Establishing a legal and organizational frameworks enabling officials and others actors involved in this field to prepare and open the publi data;
- Anchoring a new culture within the administration based on the principles of openness, transparency and cooperation;
- Achieving the expected added value of public data opening and presenting cases of data re-use.
Relevance with OGP values
- Transparency and openness: this commitment will allow more information dissemination and improve the quality of access to information process.
- Public participation: publishing data in an open format enables the development of new mechanisms to follow up and control governmental action as it enables information analysis as well as interactive and simplified readings (data visualization) that help citizens to pursue the various issues of public affairs.
- Innovation and public services development: providing opportunity of the open data reuse to create added value and develop new services that facilitate citizens' administrative affairs. Source of funding/
