Zusammenfassung: |
This set of three case studies explores the intersection of openness, digital governance, and high quality information in Estonia, Finland, and Norway with the aim of identifying lessons that will support the same objectives in lower resource countries. Openness, a key aspect of the international agenda for increasing transparency and accountability, for reducing public sector corruption, and for strengthening economic performance, rests on the principle that citizens have a right to know what their governments are doing and to benefit from using government information. Goals for open, accountable, and inclusive governance rest on the assumption that trustworthy information is available and can be shared meaningfully through strategies for digital governance. This assumption needs to be examined. Does reliable and complete information exist across lower resource countries? Can it be accessed readily? Will it survive through time? |
