We want data
We want data is a platform that works as an intermediary for citizens to request information from Colombian public entities. It works since 2016 thanks to the partnership between Datasketch and mySociety, with the purpose of promoting access to information and transparency in Colombia, taking as a framework the transparency and access to public information law of 2014. The platform seeks to bring closer the citizens with state institutions that manage public resources, facilitating the bureaucratic process of requesting data. Any citizen can ask for the information they need and the We want data team is responsible for sending the request to the respective responsible official and notifying when the information is available. This process is done in a public way to guarantee transparency and citizen control.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
