Uzbekistan has made significant strides in open data transparency, securing 30th among 195 countries in the Open Data Inventory (ODIN) rating. The report also confirms Uzbekistan's leading role in Central Asia, coming in first for openness and in its overall score.
What is ODIN?
The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) evaluates the extent and transparency of official statistics to find deficiencies, foster policies in favor of open data, enhance accessibility, and stimulate conversations between national statistical offices (NSOs) and those who use the data.
Uzbekistan's ODIN ranking history:
- 2015: 125th out of 125, with 3 points.
- 2016: 168th out of 173, with 13 points.
- 2017: 167th out of 180, with 18 points.
- 2018: 168th out of 178, with 19 points.
- 2020: 44th out of 187, with 63 points.
- 2022: 40th out of 192, with 66 points.
ODIN Recommendations for Uzbekistan:
Every nation has the opportunity to enhance its open data, and the assessments made by ODIN can pinpoint areas that need refinement. These proposed changes might encompass the entire spectrum of the national statistical framework, not just the central statistical agency:
1. Close gaps in existing data
2. Release more gender-specific data
3. Provide more detailed metadata
4. Make more historical data available
5. Update data with more current information
6. Include more information at the regional and local levels
These strategies serve as a pathway towards sustained advancement and dominance in the open data arena, furnishing both government bodies and the general populace with unambiguous directions for ongoing improvements.
