NDLI: Technology and Open Government in Tunisia

Content Provider	OECD iLibrary
Organization	OECD
Abstract	This chapter explores Tunisia’s current e-government strategy and practices and how they support the use of ICTs as a tool to implement Open Government reforms. The effectiveness of the strategy, the role played by the diverse actors involved in its implementation and the key legal and policy frameworks are also analysed vis-a-vis the challenges that poverty, illiteracy, and gender inequality pose to the widespread use of ICTs for inclusive citizens’ participation and Open Government. The chapter equally examines the capacities of Tunisian public servants to fully exploit the potential of ICTs and e-government and addresses the current approach to opening up government data for the use by national and international public and private sectors. A set of recommendations provides Tunisia with ideas how to further benefit from a more strategic use of ICTs and social media for Open Government.
