Open Government Data in Africa: A preference elicitation analysis of media practitioners
Original language description
Open Government Data (OGD) continues to receive considerable traction around the world. In particular, there have been a growing number of OGD establishments in the developed world, sparking expectations of similar trends in growing democracies. To understand the readiness of OGD stakeholders in Africa especially the media, this paper (1) reviews current infrastructure at OGD web portals in Africa and (2) conducts a preference elicitation analysis among media practitioners in 5 out of the 7 OGD country centers in Africa regarding desired structure ofOGD in developing countries. The analysis gives a viewof the relative importancemedia practitioners ascribe to a selected set of OGD attributes in anticipation of a more functional OGD in their respective countries. Using conjoint analysis, the result indicates that media practitioners put premiumon ‘metadata’ and ‘data format’ respectively in order of importance. Results fromthe review also reveal that features of current OGDweb portals in Africa are not consistent with the desired preferences of users.Overall, the study provides a general insight into media expectations of OGD in Africa, and also serves as a foundational knowledge for authorities and practitioners to manage expectations of the media in connection with OGD in Africa.
