建構開放涵容的治理政策

遠端連線

How can we use data to strengthen participatory democracy in countries with fragile political systems? How can we evoke cultural shifts in government departments when change is perceived as threatening? How can we work with governments to develop policies which spark innovation?

In 2019, Code for Pakistan’s Fellows partnered with the Performance Monitoring and Reforms Unit (PMRU) to create Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s first open data policy and to develop an open data portal. In this talk, we’ll share our journey of overcoming resistance and creating awareness about the benefits of open, accountable and inclusive governance; of how it increases government’s capacity to make informed and effective decisions and better respond to citizens’ needs. We’ll share the impact the portal has had so far in increasing government transparency, leading to inclusive decision-making.
