Ecosistemas de gobierno abierto: creación de valor público con datos abiertos gubernamentales
In Latin America, government open data has advanced in availability, but it is not always clear what type of public value it generates, what conditions favor its reuse, and what factors explain why some civic technology projects thrive while others do not.
We developed an investigation aimed at understanding how government open data is used to create public value in Latin America. The study identified what type of value emerges from the reuse of this data and what are the critical factors that influence the development of projects based on OGD. This perspective allowed for analyzing not only the data itself but the ecosystem that makes it possible for that data to translate into public services, civic technology, and institutional innovation.
We researched how open data can translate into civic technology and public value, and contributed evidence to better understand the conditions that make it possible.
The research was presented at the OGP Youth Summit 2020, an international space of young people for young people, and provided relevant input for an emerging conversation on youth, open government, and innovation ecosystems. In addition, it contributed to building conceptual bases that would later feed the development of the OGP Youth Collective.
