The importance of open government data in times of crisis with Kandyce Jackson
The Discussion.
About two years ago, Data.gov launched as a big step towards government transparency and accountability. A few months later, New York and San Francisco released their own data sites for detailed, city-specific data.
Today, many of us in the open government community are looking for ways to help and to apply the principles of transparency, accountability, and participation to the COVID-19 response.
It is in moments of disaster response and relief that the values of open government can come under intense pressure, but can also meaningfully contribute to better outcomes.
The Guest.
