Civil Network OPORA has translated a manual “Seven Steps To Open State, City, or Provincial Data Successfully”, with permission of the Open Data Lab Jakarta. The manual is developed for active citizens and civic associations willing to convince the government to open data in formats, which would allow to use them for advocacy and community development purposes.

We invite everyone interested to join the efforts in cities and oblasts using practical advices on realization of the “Linking Freedom of Information and Open Data in Banda Aceh” project (Indonesia).

We will be glad if you have any experience in data opening to share with us, as well as co-operation with the government in this process. You are welcome to send us a letter with description of any such experience to [email protected].
