Abstract

By making government data available to all, Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives promote transparency, accountability and value creation. However, these initiatives face several problems affecting their implementation throughout its adoption process. This study focuses on the forces driving or hindering the adoption of OGD in a developing country at its early stages. In depth, through the analysis of qualitative data, which was collected from seven governmental institutions, we highlight that OGD adoption is mainly hindered by the lack of a comprehensive legal framework. On the other hand, the adoption of OGD is mainly driven by the participation of the governmental practitioners on professional networks and by the transmission of success stories from other countries with similar characteristics to the country studied in this research.
