  1. Open Government Data in Developing Countries: Kenya & Moldova October 3, 2012 Jeff Kaplan - Consultant, ICT Unit, World Bank Email: jeff@openesolutions.comTwitter: @jeffkaplan88

  2. Moldova Joins Global Leaders in Open Data • 16th national Open Data portal • 1st in Eastern Europe / CIS But it’s not a portal-centric strategy...

  3. April 29 Open Data Directive Sept 20 May 25 BOOST database Released Socializing open data among MD agencies; pre-launch preparations 243 213 187 115 19 67 datasets 92 17 14 5 agencies Dec 10 - Mar 11 April May June Aug. Sept. July April 15 300 downloads Sept 26 Chisinau adopts alerte.md 3,300 4,000 July 15-16 15,000 April 15 Apps Contest launches 19,500 20,400 Systematic Approach to Open Data in Moldova

  4. Highlights • Portal anchored with key, high-value data sets: public expenditures database (BOOST) + data bank of National Bureau of Statistics • Sustainable pipeline of agency data sets driven by Open Data Directive • Over 20,000 downloads to date • 18 public agencies have uploaded data onto data.gov.md • Investments in co-creation & apps development using open data paying off (alerte.md)

  5. Lessons Learned in Moldova (Pt. 1) Strong linkage between Open Data and national eTransformation Strategy, championed by Prime Minister for over 1 year. Clear value add for World Bank’s catalytic role in early stages Time invested in socializing open data created real ownership by MD agencies Don’t waste time fighting resistence; find first mover agencies and move forward with them on open data Leveraged portal success into whole-of-government Open Data Directive Launch was well synchronised with co-creation events to generate apps and reuse of open data (Contest, TechCamp) partnering with private sectors + CSOs Understood that promoting apps that meet agency priorities can result in more sustainable apps/e-services (e.g., alerte.md adopted by Chisinau) Open data is, by design, part of effort to build an Open Innovation Ecosystem

  6. Lessons Learned in Moldova (Pt. 2) Work in Progress: Promoting reuse by targeting most valuable data sets (e.g., BOOST) More data, more data, more data APIs on data.gov.md to make data sets more usable for developers Apps Store: data.gov.md needs to expand its apps offerings Building Communities of Interest and Community of Practice around data Greater investment in reuse & co-creation (Field of Dreams does not work) Apps Innovation Fund Approval of full Open Data Program Hiring dedicated Manager for Open Data within eGC

  7. Core Components Open Data Co-Creation & Innovation Citizen Engagement Technology (Cloud +) Infrastructure Policies Standards Data sets Change Management Institutional Capacity Moldova’s Comprehensive Open Data Program • Data.gov.md 2.0 • Challengs/contests • Agency OGP Plans • Agency pilot projects • Local gov data • Apps Innovation Fund • Challenges • Apps store - data.gov.md • Hackathons, Techcamps, etc • Visualizations/apps partnerships • Data.gov.md 2.0 • Apps / e-services • Crowdsourced data

Individual Agency Open Data Plans OGP Best Practices Manual 2.0 Local Gov Data on Data.gov.md Approval of Open Data Program Nov. 2011 Jan 2012 Dec Feb April May Mar Agency Data Inventories Open Data License Open Data Dashboards & Perf Indicators Data.gov.md 2.0 Data.gov.md 3.0 Moldova Open Data Program: Next Steps

  10. Take advantage of your “disadvantages” Open Data Lessons for Developing Countries (Pt. 1) • Small developer community? • Enables Gov to really partner with local developer community • Few IT professionals within gov? • Real ROI from encouraging others to use your data to build services/apps. And they will do it faster, cheaper, more innovatively. • Hard to convince entire gov to open data? • Identify first movers ... And move forward with them. Others will catch up (by mandate or pressure). • Little budget resources? • Target partnerships with others willing to contribute with code, promotion, even funding.

  11. Take advantage of your advantages Open Data Lessons for Developing Countries (Pt. 2) • High mobile penetration • Promote development of mobile apps using open data • Visible, high-level political support • Push open data on whole-of-government basis Large talent pool of developers (or small but active community) • Identify data they want most and release it as open data
