Using open data to combat corruption: moving beyond the hype  

The Open Data Charter was founded in 2015 as a collaboration between governments and experts who came together and agreed six principles for how governments should be publishing information.

Open Data Charter

There’s been a lot of promise about how publishing government information as open data has the potential to combat corruption. There are good examples of how access to data has allowed people to follow financial flows, understand who’s providing government services and to spot suspect behaviour. But the results have not always lived up to the initial promise.
That’s why the Open Data Charter has teamed up with Transparency International-Mexico and the Open Contracting Partnership to develop a practical guide for how to challenge corruption by publishing the right information in the right way. We’ll be working with a number of governments to road-test the guide, starting with Mexico, and we want your help to shape what this looks like. As we launch this Open Up Guide, we’re bringing together experts on corruption and open data to discuss how to move beyond the hype.
