Indonesia gov't, civil society partnership encourages greater data transparency

The Government of Indonesia launched Portal Data Indonesia (http://data.id), an initiative the government hopes will encourage more data transparency in the country. The Indonesia Data Portal was developed in response to public demand for easily accessible official government data. Today, 23 institutions, including two regional governments, will publish approximately 700 datasets, with topics ranging from the economy, to education, energy, healthcare, and procurement. The free data are in electronic form, and can be easily accessed and understood; the public is able to read the data in visual form, or on an app created jointly by the government and civil society.
