Participant	Score Total	Judge	Trait	Normalized Score For Trait	Judge Comment For Trait
Albania Team	60.8	Gertrude Muguzi	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.6	Two organisations, one research institution and one international NGO validated the claims in this application. However, there is no evidence of consultation outside of government in developing the initiative.
Albania Team	60.8	Bernadette Leon	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.8	Difficult to make a judgement - it appears that the nomination as done by a government committee, but with no civil society input. The initiative also appears to be government driven with limited to no NGO partnership.
Albania Team	60.8	Florence Thibault	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.8	Only each Ministry engaged in the National Action Plan of Albania. No civil society partners. A few letters with no real validation of claims
Albania Team	60.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.2	No mention of consultation with CSOs before nomination. But attached documents for validation of claim. Could have consult with CSOs, and media and mention in the application.
Albania Team	60.8	Tiago Peixoto	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.0	No evidence of partnering or consulting CSOs in the process.
Albania Team	60.8	Bernadette Leon	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.5	This on-line portal for public service recruitment processes was targeted to raise peoples trust in the recruitment processes of the public service and to move to a transparent and efficient process of recruitment - a valuable innovation responding to a trust-deficit problem in the country.
Albania Team	60.8	Tiago Peixoto	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.2	The project is basically an e-government solution for the hiring of civil servants. While there is some transparency given to the process (through the publishing), which may have benefits, it is not evident how this makes government more accountable. More transparency on the selection process in itself would be a significant advance.
Albania Team	60.8	Florence Thibault	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.5	There is no feed back from the target population here, except to be an applicant. All the population of the country is concerned because all the population want more transparency in recruitment. But the special target population is more reduced ans we don't exactly what they think about that. It's probably very good but we don't have indicator to appreciate.
Albania Team	60.8	Gertrude Muguzi	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.2	While this initiative is more about improving service delivery and efficiency and effectiveness in government and its primary role does not come across as greater transparency to the public, it does make good use of technology for transparency to achieve its objective.
Albania Team	60.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.2	Insufficient evidence of compelling facts. Justifications and cases are unclear and hence need to provide concrete case, sufficient information and data which make the case credential.
Albania Team	60.8	Bernadette Leon	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	At most this innovation respond to one or two of the outcomes - it improves access to information and citizens are able to submit queries and complaints regarding the recruitment process. The quality of the recruitment process has improved for those who use the system in that they are able to track progress online...a significant improvement.
Albania Team	60.8	Gertrude Muguzi	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	Evidence provided shows that access to information on the public recruitment process has clearly improved and this has the potential to increase the quality of personnel within the entire public service. However whether this actually ends up improving the quality of performance by public servants is dependent on many other factors as well and is much longer term incremental process.
Albania Team	60.8	Tiago Peixoto	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.8	It is not clear how two of the outcomes were achieved, notably (i) " Citizens have ways to actively participate in the design and delivery of public services, and (ii) Citizens have mechanisms to monitor and oversee public works and services
Albania Team	60.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.4	No evidence (information and facts) of improving quality of services. Citizens and CSOs active participation in the online recruitment process demonstrated. Unclear of scope of citizen participation in monitoring and oversee. So need to provide more facts if available or create a system as per the OGP norms.
Albania Team	60.8	Florence Thibault	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	As before, we don't now the part of the vacancies in the public administration is concerned by this recruitment and the number of winners is not very high. It's probably interisting for each applicant in order to see where is his (her) application (result 1) but he doesn't now if the winners are realy better than him (diploma, sexe, parent in administration...). Result 2 is probably true. Nothing about results 3 and 4
Albania Team	60.8	Florence Thibault	SUSTAINABILITY	4.3	It's a public project and there is no problem here, except to appreciate the part of public vacancies concerned. Considering the goal of the project, they have to improve the transparency of recruitment with better indicators for their communication with civil society.
Albania Team	60.8	Bernadette Leon	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	The submission does not provide information on how scale up will be done and how risks will be managed - risks are identified but no information provided on how this will be managed.
Albania Team	60.8	Tiago Peixoto	SUSTAINABILITY	4.1	The project seems to be institutionalized, however it does not present clear evidence on how to avoid reversing such process.
Albania Team	60.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SUSTAINABILITY	2.9	No such clear cut evidence of road map (strategy) for make the initiative sustainable. Could have design a strategic plan for make this programme sustainable. No mention of probable risks and mitigation strategy.
Albania Team	60.8	Gertrude Muguzi	SUSTAINABILITY	3.9	Given that this initiative is operationalising a law, potential for insitutionalisation is very high if not already achieved. Two challenges were listed as well as what needs to be done to address them although no articulated plan for how or when this will be done.
Albania Team	60.8	Florence Thibault	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	That's not a goal of the project wich is for all the population
Albania Team	60.8	Gertrude Muguzi	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no mention of minority groups in the application.
Albania Team	60.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Insufficient evidence, no CSO participation demonstrated, outcomes are not satisfactory and sustainable approach not clear.
Albania Team	60.8	Bernadette Leon	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Difficult to say - the access to employment in the public service will be improved for youth and women who apply for jobs online
Albania Team	60.8	Tiago Peixoto	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	No evidence that it has improved access by vulnerable groups.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tania Sanchez	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.9	The consultation process is somewhat ambiguously described (although there was not quite a lot of room to explain with detail). The initiative is implemented solely by the government agency. Presented 2 letters of validation
Argentina Team	66.6	Justine Dupuys	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.4	The initiative was not jointly implemented but there was a mechanism of selection and nomination with different partners and a debate online
Argentina Team	66.6	Virginia Pardo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.0	Se tiene el aval de la postulación de 2 organizaciones (CIPPEC y PuntoGov). No se realizo propuesta en conjunto con Soc. Civil. Se muestra alguna evidencia que se consultó previamente para la postulación, pero no se puede verificar bien alcance de convocados.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tiago Peixoto	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.7	No, it mentions it consulted "organos" but do not specifiy who contributed to the consultation.
Argentina Team	66.6	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.5	Existe evidencia suficiente sobre el apoyo de otras organizaciones no gubernamentales en avalar la iniciativa presentada (CIPPEC y Punto Gov). Además, la postulación de la iniciativa ha sido el resultado de un proceso participativo para la selección, por parte del Grupo de Trabajo de Gobierno Abierto en Argentina.
Argentina Team	66.6	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.5	Si bien la iniciativa se relaciona directamente con la administración del sistema electoral y no necesariamente con la idea de mejoramiento de servicios públicos* (eje temático de esta convocatoria), cumple con incorporar la idea de uso y reutilización de la información pública, su accesibilidad y las posibilidades de control y monitoreo del proceso electoral (favorece la transparencia, la inclusión y acceso a datos públicos; y eventualmente, a la participación e interacción con los ciudadanos por la vía de herramientas digitales). (*) La convocatoria para el OGP Awards define como eje para el 2015 el "mostrar cómo las iniciativas de gobierno abierto se han traducido en mejoras concretas en la prestación de servicios públicos, por ejemplo, programas de bienestar económico, salud, educación, agua, carreteras, seguridad pública, etc. OGP ha elegido este tema para 2015 en reconocimiento del hecho de que los servicios públicos son la interfaz más común entre los ciudadanos y el gobierno, y que los gobiernos deben garantizar la transparencia, rendición de cuentas y capacidad de respuesta en su diseño y ejecución. Buena calidad y servicios públicos eficaces responden a las necesidades de las personas, incluidos los grupos vulnerables, y forman la base del desarrollo inclusivo".
Argentina Team	66.6	Justine Dupuys	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.6	The initiative looks like an improvement of website more than an OGP initiative. If the DINE made a strong effort to release a lot of important information and open data on election process , it appears to be a top-down approach and the target population have a passive role.
Argentina Team	66.6	Virginia Pardo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.2	Propuesta que fortalece incremento al acceso a la información publica, rendición de cuentas y se basa en tecnología para la transparencia. Iniciativa enfocada en la transparencia en la gestión mediante la publicación y acceso a la información por parte de la ciudadanía, factor innovador de la misma débil.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tania Sanchez	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.4	The initiative makes a strong case of the need to publish disaggregated open data on political/ elections finance in order to encourage and facilitate citizen control of the electoral process; it stresses the fact that access to the electoral information is universal, and adapted for the visually and auditive challenged public.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tiago Peixoto	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.5	It does make a convincing case for making electoral information more transparent, which is extremely important. However there is no relationship with public services (it should not have anyway). This question penalizes initiatives as this one that - albeit important - do not have a direct impact on service delivery.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tania Sanchez	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.7	The initiative describes the type of information that has been published for the first time in this country, but does not necessarily provide evidence of having reached the population.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tiago Peixoto	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	No, this is about electoral processes transparency. As such, sit should not bear any direct impact on service delivery, particularly in the short term.
Argentina Team	66.6	Virginia Pardo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.4	Se comprueba la existencia del sitio Web con la información disponible. No se tiene evidencia sobre cantidad de accesos, uso y valoración por parte de los interesados. Si hay +23.000 seguidores en Twitter pero no se menciona como parte de la propuesta.
Argentina Team	66.6	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	Se presenta un detalle de los beneficios esperados de la iniciativa pero no se adjunta mayor información sobre el potencial impacto y resultados de la misma en términos de lo que se entiende por "servicio público" (el video que acompaña la postulación entrega información adicional pero no es suficiente y falta mayor fundamentación - como indicadores y/o métricas que permitan relevar su potencial y beneficios concretos hacia la ciudadanía más allá de lo que un sistema de administración electoral debe contemplar como base - y en lo relativo a la aplicación de teconología y/o digitalización de ciertos procesos o entrega de información).
Argentina Team	66.6	Justine Dupuys	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	The platform improves access to information for citizens and provides a better accountability on election but it shows little evidence of achieving an important interaction between government and citizenship and on the control the civil society can operate based on this information
Argentina Team	66.6	Virginia Pardo	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	Se detalla como forma de sostenibilidad convenios específicos con ONGs vinculadas a temas electorales. Sumando a la institucionalidad dada por la propia DINE, mas vinculado con Datos Abiertos.
Argentina Team	66.6	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	De acuerdo a la información disponible en la Web y en los antecedentes presentados en la postulación, se trata de una iniciativa en actual desarrollo e institucionalización, y muestra un interesante caso de facilitar el acceso a datos y a los procesos ligados al sistema electoral.
Argentina Team	66.6	Justine Dupuys	SUSTAINABILITY	3.5	this initiative is institutionalized and have been implemented during the last election process in Argentina but there is no plan to improve the tools or to scale-up the initiative
Argentina Team	66.6	Tania Sanchez	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	Describes the institutional arrangements that have been made, including creating certain departments within the agency to be responsible for continuing to produce and publish data, and partnering with civil society to further develop the initiative. But, does not provide details on how they will deal with challenges.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tiago Peixoto	SUSTAINABILITY	4.6	Yes, there are compelling arguments to make it believe that the initiative will continue to exist.
Argentina Team	66.6	Tiago Peixoto	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	No, since it is related to electoral process it does not guarantee improved service delivery access and / or outcomes, at least in the short term, and not directly.
Argentina Team	66.6	Virginia Pardo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Iniciativa que no aplica directamente a poblaciones vulnerables o sectores específicos de la población que requieren especial atención.
Argentina Team	66.6	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Dado que se trata de una iniciativa que facilita y hace más transparente, accesible e incluyente el sistema de administración electoral en Argentina, ello no necesariamente se relaciona con el mejoramiento en la entrega y/o provisión de servicios públicos * (en la forma tradicional de entenderlo) y en su potencial impacto en la calidad de vida o bienestar de las personas (sino más bien en la mejora de las vías para perfeccionar la democracia, sustentar procesos político-electorales que puedan ser monitoreados desde la sociedad, y ejercer control social en dicho ámbito). (*) La convocatoria para el OGP Awards define como eje para el 2015 el "mostrar cómo las iniciativas de gobierno abierto se han traducido en mejoras concretas en la prestación de servicios públicos, por ejemplo, programas de bienestar económico, salud, educación, agua, carreteras, seguridad pública, etc. OGP ha elegido este tema para 2015 en reconocimiento del hecho de que los servicios públicos son la interfaz más común entre los ciudadanos y el gobierno, y que los gobiernos deben garantizar la transparencia, rendición de cuentas y capacidad de respuesta en su diseño y ejecución. Buena calidad y servicios públicos eficaces responden a las necesidades de las personas, incluidos los grupos vulnerables, y forman la base del desarrollo inclusivo".
Argentina Team	66.6	Tania Sanchez	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	It is not targeted for a vulnerable population; does not provide evidence of improvement, but rather describes the amount and type of information being published and how this should help to increase trust on the electoral institutions and processes.
Argentina Team	66.6	Justine Dupuys	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	In spite of the mention of improving the inclusion of vulnerable population, the initiative does not demonstrate that it successfully permitted this inclusion.
Armenia Team	85.7	Radu Puchiu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	According to the resources found (http://unpan3.un.org/unpsa/Public_NominationProfile.aspx?id=706), the initiator of the project was the RA Ministry of Territorial Administration in Armenia and the project was fully elaborated and implemented by “Information Systems Development and Training Center” NGO, which Head (Grisha Khachatryan) and staff have extensive and rich experience in creation and introduction of municipal management information systems. This shows not only a strong evidence in the joint implementation but a strong collaboration between Governement and NGOs wich is also shown in the support letters. Still, the project started in 2006, first phase ending in 2009 by launching of MMIS in 217 communities out of the total of 926 communities in the Republic of Armenia. The present submission showsthat "The Municipal Management Information System (MMIS) was created and introduced in communities of Armenia. The MMIS has been installed in over 550 communities (61%) across the country."
Armenia Team	85.7	Stefano Pizzicannella	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.7	Armenia selected the project with a good involvement of civil society and the project itself is a consortium of actors mixed public - private
Armenia Team	85.7	Mendi Njonjo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.1	Applicant provided sufficient evidence of partnering with other non-government organizations in either nominating, validating and/or jointly implementing the initiative.
Armenia Team	85.7	Tim Hughes	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.8	The initiative was selected through a crowdsourcing process, is a joint application with a CSO, and has strong letters of recommendation from three diverse organisations. The initiative itself is jointly implemented by a range of partners.
Armenia Team	85.7	Marija Novkovic	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The applicants presented compelling claims on consultations with other stakeholders, in the nomination stage, as well as proof of collaboration with CSOs in the implementation stage.
Armenia Team	85.7	Marija Novkovic	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.4	The initiative clearly relies on the use of new technologies, while also trying to provide offline services to those citizens who are not technologically savvy. The geographical coverage is quite sizeable too, but this is probably due to a long implementation period (since 2008). The applicants should have focused more on elaborating the initiative outcomes.
Armenia Team	85.7	Stefano Pizzicannella	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.2	The project makes a large use of technology to introduce the OGP principles and approaches of transparency and access. The Smart Municipality is conceived to have an organizational impact on local government but it is not clear if this has been achieved yet.
Armenia Team	85.7	Radu Puchiu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	The project is included in the National Action Plan and gives good evidence on focusing on citizen participation to achieve transparency, trust and improved service provision on the municipal level.
Armenia Team	85.7	Mendi Njonjo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.7	Applicant provides sufficient evidence of partnering with other non-government organizations in either nominating, validating and/or jointly implementing the initiative where project targets 61% of the population (550 communities in total). The targeting of Municipalities as the Units responsible to service delivery as the point where citizens interact with public services The idea has built in feedback to citizens where they get information on the state of services they’re seeking from their Municipalities through the ticketing system. This allows citizens to track issue resolution through the service delivery process.
Armenia Team	85.7	Tim Hughes	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.4	The application makes a compelling case for a joined up digital architecture for citizens to access information and participate in local services. The initiative boasts a wide coverage of the population, with ambitions to increase it further. The application could have been strengthened by greater evidence of the demand from citizens.
Armenia Team	85.7	Stefano Pizzicannella	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.9	It is not clear how many citizens are actually using the system and how. Reference is made to the number of Systems installed but more evidence on impacts and users satisfatction of the initiative might be sought given the long standing duration of the initiative itself. Moreover, it is not clear if participatory tools are implemented, active and used.
Armenia Team	85.7	Radu Puchiu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.3	The system is designed deliver various services applying the principles of open government of active participation, including mechanisms to monitor the public services. The project was introduced and launched in over 550 communities in all 10 regions (provinces) of Armenia involving according to the applicant, approximately 92% of the population of the regions.
Armenia Team	85.7	Tim Hughes	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.6	The initiative relates to all of the outcomes listed, but the application lacks clear evidence of the tangible impact on each. The system sounds as though it has great potential to improve service quality, but it is not clear from the evidence presented the extent to which it is being used and the impact it is having on citizens or services.
Armenia Team	85.7	Marija Novkovic	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	As mentioned, the applicants should have devoted more attention to communicating the initiative outcomes. Though there is mention of reduction in service provision time, there should have been more practical examples of the impact on the ground.
Armenia Team	85.7	Mendi Njonjo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	Overall, the initiative allows for the targeted municipalities to increase the quality and efficiency of public services. Specifically, citizens have better access to the service entitlements that are due to them; and they also have mechanisms (through the online ticketing) to monitor and oversee public works and services.
Armenia Team	85.7	Radu Puchiu	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	The project showed a strong joint collaboration and commitment from both Government and NGOs from the very beggining back in 2006. It's continuing improvement and the focus on public participation shows a a durable model which in constantly implemented to a large scale of the population.
Armenia Team	85.7	Tim Hughes	SUSTAINABILITY	4.4	The application presents a strong case for how its implementation is being scaled across local government. The initiative appears to have strong backing through its partners, and is built into the budgets of local governments. However, it's not clear from the application the current extent of use of the platform by citizens, and how the partners intend to scale this up over time. Experience from previous e-government platforms suggests that this is the more difficult aspect of achieving scale.
Armenia Team	85.7	Mendi Njonjo	SUSTAINABILITY	3.9	Applicant makes a compelling case that the initiative can be scale up over time with the uptake of the MMIS system high (e.g. the project coverage is over 61%. This is indicative of the high institutionalization potential of the programme. ) There exists a clear feedback mechanism for citizens to be able to track the status of their service. This seems to provide a compelling case for citizens to continue participating in the MMIS programme. The creation of “Citizen Offices” in the communities that would (presumably) provide ways in which citizens would gain awareness and information on how to register complaints/ issues through the MMIS. All told, this looks like a project that would be incubated and implemented at the local government level so strong indications for citizen participation in the MMIS. Missing from project description is an analysis of how the Municipalities’ capacities to manage the citizens’ demands is being met by the Government of Armenia however. Poses significant risk to programme, if the MMIS only highlights the Municipalities’ inabilities to meet citizen needs and demands.
Armenia Team	85.7	Stefano Pizzicannella	SUSTAINABILITY	3.8	It is clear that the system has reached a point of non return, but some issues about the use by citizens and the financial effort in the future are unclear.The Consortium appears to be stable. However, for the future there seemes to lack a strategy to meet further challenges.
Armenia Team	85.7	Marija Novkovic	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	It seems like the sustainability mechanisms are in place, particularly regarding the financial aspects. However, it would be good to know how the initiative curators will keep engaging the citizens in public service improvement.
Armenia Team	85.7	Marija Novkovic	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	More data is provided in capacity building for local civil servants, than on reaching out to poor and excluded groups. Hence the somewhat low rating.
Armenia Team	85.7	Mendi Njonjo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Applicant somewhat demonstrates that this can lead to successfully improved service delivery access outcomes for vulnerable population through the "Ease of Access" where offline services can be provided to "net marginalized communities". There is however not enough information available to make a determination on whether the communities who cannot get online corresponds to the offline marginalizations that also occur in the provinces that the MMIS is working in.
Armenia Team	85.7	Stefano Pizzicannella	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The project doesn't target specific vulnerable groups of population, even if paths to access the system off-line have been implemented
Armenia Team	85.7	Radu Puchiu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The project was introduced and launched in over 550 communities in all 10 regions (provinces) of Armenia involving according to the applicant, approximately 92% of the population of the regions which gives a strong opportunity to all the vulnerable population.
Armenia Team	85.7	Tim Hughes	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative has taken some account of digitally excluded communities through the establishment of some offline centres. However, there is no evidence presented of the impact of the initiative on service delivery access or outcomes for vulnerable populations.
Brazil Team	80.5	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Non-government organisations were involved in: 1. nominating the initiative (call for projects). 2. validating the initiative (vote by citizens). 3. implementing the initiative (8 projects could receive subsidies). However, the application was not jointly-submitted to the OGP.
Brazil Team	80.5	Don Don Parafina	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.5	Civil society participation is an integral part of the initiative, but the number of participating civil society groups is quite limited and their identification or selection needs further clarification.
Brazil Team	80.5	Florence Thibault	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.9	We have a good description about the consultation in nominating the initiative (process organized byt the Office of the Comptroller General, public voting, number of computerd votes, criteria...). We have several letters from partners very positive.
Brazil Team	80.5	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.2	The initiative demonstrates inputs from communities (taxpayers) and has CSOs partners as implementer.
Brazil Team	80.5	Ben Taylor	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.3	A nice, participatory initiative that involved other organisations both in implementation and in validation of the application.
Brazil Team	80.5	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	Target population has to voluntarily choose one in eight projects to receive subsidies and civil society has to back these projects' initiative by bringing together at least 20% of the total amount. An ambitious number of the population is targetted even though only a little part got involved in the first year. The project is responding to a real need for transparency in public subsidies allocation.
Brazil Team	80.5	Ben Taylor	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.4	Great use of civic participation. It potentially could reach a large number of people either as beneficiaries or as those engaged in decision making, but it's reach thus far has been fairly small.
Brazil Team	80.5	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	Project demonstrate a partnership with communities and provided opportunity for contribution by the people. Project demonstrated tools used for citizen to engage with government. There are innovation in the way government engages with citizens.
Brazil Team	80.5	Don Don Parafina	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	Not enough options are made available to enable taxpayers to identify the programs they want their money to be used for.
Brazil Team	80.5	Florence Thibault	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.3	Here, all the process is open wiht a focus on an important subject : what goverment is doing with my money and how can I decide with him ? But all the projects for which people can vote are responding to a real need (disabled people, poor people, hospitals....). Then, may be the approache that Canoas offers here (vote) do not change so much things for people ? May be, what is more interesting here is that the selected project has to be implemented with the population.
Brazil Team	80.5	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.4	Description of result given, with certain area reaching 50% of target. Narrative provided descriptive evidence.
Brazil Team	80.5	Don Don Parafina	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.3	Strong on indicators 3 and 4; quite weak on indicators 1 and 2. Giving taxpayers the opportunity to identify the use of half of their taxes is highly commendable, but mechanics for selecting beneficiaries may need to be polished.
Brazil Team	80.5	Ben Taylor	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.5	There is no counter-factual - no case for what would have happened to the money if it had not been allocated in this way. Further, though it improves participation in public decision making, there is little evidence that it has improved access or quality of public services beyond a handful of cases.
Brazil Team	80.5	Florence Thibault	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	On the one hand, the quality of the public service or access to the service has probably improved in a lot of case. But we do know if it's the consequence of the open governement approach. In the other hand, people developpe the culture of direct participation in the application of Urban Property Tax resource and there is a Partnership of community and civil society organizations.
Brazil Team	80.5	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.6	Citizens have better access to information regarding part of public ressources allocation and have ways to actively participate in the design and delivery of public services. This seems to be only the beginning and only experimented on a little part of public services. Nevertheless, this may set new standards for the relationship between government and citizens in the near future.
Brazil Team	80.5	Ben Taylor	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	The initiative has started fairly small, but there is a lot of opportunity to scale up, and evidence of demand from the community to do so.
Brazil Team	80.5	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SUSTAINABILITY	4.9	Clear demonstration on how successes will be replicated. Provided proof of how initiative benefit community by providing them to have decision rights. This model has good potential for sustainability, both monetary and ideas wise. Community confidence can only lead to increased buy-ins and support from taxpayers.
Brazil Team	80.5	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SUSTAINABILITY	3.9	The initiative is already part of an institutionalised approach. It is the 13th tool created as part of the System of Popular and Citizen Participation of Canoas. The project is totally scalable but its sustainability will depend on the applicant's capacity to draw social involvement.
Brazil Team	80.5	Florence Thibault	SUSTAINABILITY	2.4	The candidate emphasize that "one of the main challenges is the constant construction of the partnership culture and participation. It’s necessary the constant update of the strategies with civil society". But we have no information about how is going to do in order to attempt this goal
Brazil Team	80.5	Don Don Parafina	SUSTAINABILITY	4.3	Not clear if the initiative can transcend changes in political leadership.
Brazil Team	80.5	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	This project demonstrated benefit for the marginalized groups. People living with disability and those in need of health care.
Brazil Team	80.5	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Some of the projects to which public subsidies are allocated as part of the initiative are directed to ill or disabled people.
Brazil Team	80.5	Don Don Parafina	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Very clearly, it has ensured allocation of funds for marginalised members of the society, such as the PWDs.
Brazil Team	80.5	Florence Thibault	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	In this case, that's no easy to answer "yes" or "no" because the initiative deals with social projets. It's better with the open approach ? I'm not sure.
Brazil Team	80.5	Ben Taylor	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Potentially the initiative could be focussed on vulnerable populations, but this depends on the projects chosen for support. Putting spending decisions directly in the hands of taxpayers could have this effect, but it is not designed specifically with that in mind.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Siapha Kamara	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.4	There is no convicting evidence of the claim; document submitted provided very little information about interactions and engagement of the partners and actual benefits to each stakeholder
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Ritva Reinikka	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.1	This initiative has been implemented in the city of Stara Zagora in Bulgaria since late-2013. Hence, it is still quite new. This city is a nationally important economic center. Despite being a new initiative, the online consultation process of 25 leading CSOs and government units selected it almost unanimously to represent Bulgaria (out of 8 nominations). It is joint application with a CSO, although it is not clear which CSO it is. Validation letters -- two were included -- come across as convincing. Implemented by ombudsman, various municipal agencies and ZaraLab which must be a CSO -- although the latter is not clear from the application.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bernadette Leon	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	This initiative was chosen through an online nomination process in which many CSOs and government agencies participated - hence strong consultation in the nomination process. The claims are supported by 2 letters from an NGO called NGO Links and from a Policy think tank
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.8	Clear demonstration of CSO participation. But independent review/monitoring by CSOs has not mentioned.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Gertrude Muguzi	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	This was a joint voluntary initiative initiated by civil society and clearly supported by government. The validation letters contained clear endorsements of the initiative and an open process of 25 organisations with near unanimous agreement is evidence of widespread endorsement.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	Only a web-based platform e-Municipality. But can use mobile technology and Apps to reach out more citizens.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Ritva Reinikka	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.0	The initiative, estarazagora.info, makes use of open government approaches. Technology is harnessed to create a platform for two-way engagement between citizens/customers and service providers in the city, and to enhance transparency and public accountability. In other words, there is better access to information for city dwellers and citizen feedback for the municipal agencies. The local ombudsman has a key role in directing the incoming information.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Gertrude Muguzi	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	While the initiative targets a municipality, which is a small proportion of the national population, it targets the entire municipality, which is quite ambitious to manage in terms of responding to the number and diversity of interactions from the population. In fact the application indicates that there are already signs of strain in this area. It will be interesting to monitor how the management of this open interaction plays out over time.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bernadette Leon	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.8	The open source civic engagement platform is innovative and provides a more modern approach for citizen-government interactions, allowing for public tracking of complaints and queries. It potentially targets a large number of the population, although the user numbers provides in this submission is quite small (2 postings per day).
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Siapha Kamara	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.7	Uses open government approaches but does not provide sufficient evidence of benefits to the different stakeholders
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Ritva Reinikka	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	It appears that this new state of the art platform is perceived credible by the citizens and hence it must be achieving its objectives. Specifically, more than 2,000 hits are registered per day reflecting much interest from the citizens of Stara Zagora. The number of cases brought by citizens has doubled (now 2 per day) from the past. According to the application, response times have been considerably shortened, to just a few days. There is no information about actual service delivery improvements. Regarding the Bulgarian context, this initiative is impressive. People tend to be doubtful when it comes to working or cooperating with anything governmental, reflecting the socialist past. Civil society is still relatively new. This type of internet-based initiative is likely to have a bright future as Bulgarians are very much into technology, and internet penetration is high. This kind of civic initiative represents a good approach to mobilize public opinion and demand transparency. The case of Stara Zagora demonstrates this as in an year’s time only they have accomplished a lot.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Gertrude Muguzi	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.4	Their is clear evidence of improvement on all 4 outcomes listed on the application and the number of issues responded to as well as response times have clearly improved. The number of hits per day also demonstrates the value that residents of the municipality place on the platform.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Siapha Kamara	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.1	The initiative is driven by citizens and good feedback mechanism, however it will be useful if government was made to use the platform to post data and information.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.4	Access to information, citizens feedback and active participation of citizens are clear but no evidence of independent monitoring or CSO audit. No mechanism demonstrates for independent monitoring.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bernadette Leon	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.5	This service does allow for wider citizen access to information and services and also allows citizens to monitor government more actively using the public portal. Information is provided on the ration of issues resolved against complaints received BUT how citizens or users view the quality of the services is not clear....hence data on quality of service improvements not provided.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bernadette Leon	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	The scale up approach and plan is to keep the platform as a public and independent initiative supported by the government agencies and having credibility among the citizens and this is a good approach. The risks are identified as being government responsiveness but how this will be managed is not very clearly described.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Gertrude Muguzi	SUSTAINABILITY	3.4	There is a clear analysis of the opportunities and challenges as well as justifications for the potential solutions highlighted. However, how active citizen participation and joint resolution of problems will be applied to address the risk of poor responsiveness on the part of government is not clearly explained.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Siapha Kamara	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	Yes, the stakeholders are planning to have the platform managed by an independent body supported by government and civil society . This will ensure creditability among all stakeholders
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SUSTAINABILITY	4.4	Unclear risk management in scalling up the initiative. Ambitious target looks unrealistic due to lack of institutional reform.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Ritva Reinikka	SUSTAINABILITY	3.1	Given the Bulgarian context, the application discusses risks for sustainability in a convincing manner. Loss of credibility and skepticism are real dangers. Among other things, the initiative is said to mitigate the risks by collaborating with ZaraLab. Based on my investigation on the internet, ZaraLab has nothing to do with hackers (I don’t know why they use that term in the application). Rather, it seems to be a “lab” or a community center or a space where people can get together and share ideas, organize workshops, seminars and other such sessions, bringing together people from the community as well as business people. From their Facebook page I noted that they organize electronic courses, work with soft- and hardware, open source related activities, etc. My sense is that technology can work well in the Bulgarian context.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Recommended to select provided best cases available.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Gertrude Muguzi	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	While it does mention that it has improved access to services for people with disabilities, it does not provide any evidence to support this claim.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Ritva Reinikka	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	This initiative is meant for general public in the city.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Bernadette Leon	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	One can assume that vulnerable groups may benefit, but they are not specifically targeted.
Bulgaria Team	75.6	Siapha Kamara	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	This application refers to persons with disability using the facility
Canada Team	58.3	Don Don Parafina	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.0	The proponent did not consult, but only assumed the stakeholders' endorsement of the project based on the impact of the results and the positive feedback on the event.
Canada Team	58.3	Stefano Pizzicannella	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.2	The initiative has a large panel of partnerships with NGOs but is not formally submitted as a joint application. As far as the selection procedure in concerned, there is no evidence of consultation for the selection of the initiative and it seems that other initiatives, experiences of good practices were not considered.
Canada Team	58.3	Mendi Njonjo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.3	Applicant provides sufficient evidence of partnering with other non-government organizations in development and implementing of the initiative with others. The implementation requires the collaboration of stakeholders from civil society and government. The development of the Open Data Charter (and its subsequent use and implementation presumably) was collaborative and included open data proponents from academia, private sector, government and civil society actors who participated in the IODC.
Canada Team	58.3	Maxine Tanya Hamada	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.3	Forwarding the IODC 2015 for the OGP awards sends a strong signal and support for a more global approach to this emerging practice. I regret that the nomination was not a joint one given the broad partnerships that made the 2015 IODC possible.
Canada Team	58.3	Milena Nedeva	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.1	The application contains some information about the stakeholders involved in the implementation of the initiative, but no description of the consultation process for the nomination of the initiative.
Canada Team	58.3	Milena Nedeva	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.4	The initiative identifies clearly the problem to be solved, but focuses solely on one tool for its solution (an international conference) whereas the process requires a combination of approaches.
Canada Team	58.3	Maxine Tanya Hamada	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.8	There are two key innovations here from my perspective and from the verification submissions. First is the open approach to the conduct, planning and ownership of IODC 215 and second is the emergence of consensus on an Open Data Charter. Only because there is still no way to ascertain direct impact on public service delivery in the countries that joined, it is difficult to score this higher than having articulated the importance of using open data approaches
Canada Team	58.3	Stefano Pizzicannella	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.3	The proposed initiative doesn't seem make a direct link between the spread of open data and improved public services that are not targeted; it fosters instead the adoption of the open data paradigm that could improve the public service delivery once adopted by administrations and governments. The score is low for this criterion given this weak link. As far as the target population is concerend, this is not clear since it could be identified with the participants of the Conference, that are not public service users, or in the world citizens that are not affected by the initiative (yet).
Canada Team	58.3	Mendi Njonjo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	The initiative makes a compelling case for the use of Open Government approaches. Specifically, the development of standards that can be universally used and applied provide a much needed enabling environment for Open Data standards to be used across various organizations, entities and jurisdictions. It therefore sets the stage for a way through which there can be a universal understanding and application of open data for public service delivery (amongst others).
Canada Team	58.3	Don Don Parafina	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.9	Standardization is an important pre-requisite for open government and improved service delivery, but does not and cannot demonstrate actual openness and improvement.
Canada Team	58.3	Maxine Tanya Hamada	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.0	The submission clearly posits that the global impact of IODC 2015 will be felt for years to come. Since this is the inception of the open data charter, there is no evidence yet available for the impact on public services. I do not doubt that there will be impact in policy and behaviour. The direct link to public services will still have to be established in time.
Canada Team	58.3	Stefano Pizzicannella	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.7	Shows very little evidence of achieving any of the outcomes or of an improvement in public services; the conference aims to put the basis for a shared open data world wide approach.
Canada Team	58.3	Don Don Parafina	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.5	Same reason as above. The conference is several steps away from real adoption and actual implementation by the countries.
Canada Team	58.3	Milena Nedeva	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.6	The set objectives were achieved but no clear case is made as to how the achievement of the objectives resulted in improved public services or access to services.
Canada Team	58.3	Mendi Njonjo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.5	Through the development of the Open Data Charter, and the potential usage of this by Government, and other stakeholders, this sets the stage for creating the environment through which the citizens can get more information about services, government can get feedback; and citizens can participate in and monitor public service provision. As mentioned above, this is an initiative that potentially opens up standardized, and inter-operable open data standards to all (most) stakeholders.
Canada Team	58.3	Milena Nedeva	SUSTAINABILITY	3.1	Clear institutionalization path was outlined for the initiative but no consideration is given to the challenge of moving beyond the proposals and into practical implementation of the agreed ideas.
Canada Team	58.3	Mendi Njonjo	SUSTAINABILITY	3.7	Applicant makes a strong case for the initiative being scaled up over time. The collaborative nature of the initiative's development are indicative of potential uptake of the Open Data Charter by open data proponents.
Canada Team	58.3	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SUSTAINABILITY	2.7	The submission outlines some initiatives for the consolidation and adoption of the Open Data Charter by governments. A roadmap is mentioned but not detailed. It would be good to, as early as now, include in the roll-out ways to measure and benchmark the changes that the Charter will enable.
Canada Team	58.3	Don Don Parafina	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	I don't see the need to institutionalise the conduct of an event.
Canada Team	58.3	Stefano Pizzicannella	SUSTAINABILITY	3.9	There are clear indicators that this initiative contributes to create an international open data movement. IODC 2016 is already planned but no assumption can be made on the impact in the future of the open data Charter.
Canada Team	58.3	Stefano Pizzicannella	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	This initiative doesn't address any specific vulnerable population.
Canada Team	58.3	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Because this is a broad initiative, it does not specifically address vulnerable populations. But as in the previous comment, there is a strategic opportunity for the Open Data Charter to be rolled out with benchmarks and mechanisms to measure its impact on vulnerable populations
Canada Team	58.3	Mendi Njonjo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Project doesn't make a compelling case for addressing marginalized communities, or how marginalized or vulnerable groups would be privileged (or emerge) through the use of this initiative.
Canada Team	58.3	Don Don Parafina	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	I don't see how conference can improve service delivery.
Canada Team	58.3	Milena Nedeva	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	No information provided on a special focus on vulnerable groups.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tiago Peixoto	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Yes, the project shows that it conducted a rather intensive consultation process and validates its claims with regard to partnerships, which is the essence of the project.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tania Sanchez	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The Colombian team used their OGP permanent consultation mechanism to nominate and then put the initiatiates up on a platform for the public to vote. The core of the initiative is about buiding a partnership between academia, local community leaders and government to co-create innovative solutions to fight poverty.
Colombia Team	83.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	Se establece un mecanismo para seleccionar la iniciativa que se postula (proceso participativo a cargo del Comité de seguimiento AGA Colombia). Incluye la participación de otros actores (y es relevante el hecho de que exista un activo involucramiento del sector universitario y de investigación, más la población de los sectores beneficiados del proyecto). Las cartas de respaldo que acompañan la postulación confirman el apoyo y avalan la iniciativa presentada.
Colombia Team	83.9	Justine Dupuys	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.7	this is a joint project and the process of nomination takes into account the civil society point of view by a vote online and the participation of some NGOs in the selection.
Colombia Team	83.9	Virginia Pardo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Se realizaron procesos de selección de postulaciones, en el marco de GA. La propuesta fue elaborada en conjunto con Organizaciones no gubernamentales. La iniciativa surge como articulaciòn de Estado-academia.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tiago Peixoto	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	Yes, there is a convincing case on the need of involving the population to participate and how this may spur innovation. However, beyond some anecdotal evidence, the extent of the initiative's impact is not clear.
Colombia Team	83.9	Virginia Pardo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.9	Se llevan adelante acciones innovadoras de Gobierno Abierto con el fin de contribuir con la superación de las necesidades de la población en situación de extrema pobreza. Iniciativa con alcance nacional, focalizado en sectores específicos, comunidades rurales. Se destaca el enfoque innovador y colaborativo de la iniciativa, especialmente en la metodología planteada.
Colombia Team	83.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.5	Se trata de una iniciativa que favorece el trabajo en clave colaborativa, aprovechando capacidades de diversos actores, para diagnosticar y dar potenciales soluciones a problemas sociales (pobreza extrema) desde el enfoque de innovación social (y pensamiento de diseño). Si bien se relaciona con los ejes de participación ciudadana y uso de nuevas metodologías para el diseño de servicios - no queda claro si ello se ha concretado (las propuestas que son producto del Taller RAD ANSPE) en proyectos y/o iniciativas que han impactado (en la práctica) en la calidad de vida de las personas (los datos entregados son insuficientes para valorar adecuadamente). Se presenta evidencia sobre un caso de aplicación (ECOLANG) que, se asume, es un ejemplo de cómo se concreta u obtiene una acción tangible a partir del trabajo del Taller.
Colombia Team	83.9	Justine Dupuys	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.3	this project is interesting but is based mostly on citizen participation based on the exchanges between university, poor community and the government. there is a lack of governmental accountability, open data, transparency and new technology, which are important components of open government.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tania Sanchez	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.5	The initiative makes the case that solutions to local challenges are better crafted with the participation of the local community, who very well know their needs, and involves students from universities to bring technical support. It is mainly about creating a model to promote participation in local development initiatives, and does not seem to use access to information, accountability or technology for transparency approaches.
Colombia Team	83.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.8	Se presenta evidencia y datos sobre los resultados, alcance y cobertura, que ha venido generando la iniciativa.
Colombia Team	83.9	Virginia Pardo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	5.0	Se presenta evidencia de los pilotos y casos de éxito desarrollados aplicando las tecnicas de innovación social, los resultados obtenidos e indicadores de la participación de la ciudadanía.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tania Sanchez	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.3	The intiative focuses on providing ways for citizens --students and the local community-- to participate in the design and delivery of public services. The idea is that through thir participation in this programa, students will become aware of the needs and realities of these communities and hence become better designers of anti-poverty policies.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tiago Peixoto	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.0	It demonstrated achieving some of the outcomes, however it is unclear the extent to each it has improved quality of public service delivery for more than half of the target population (or whatever other proportion for that matter)
Colombia Team	83.9	Justine Dupuys	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.9	they provide only one evidence of the project ecolang based on recycling and there is no information linked with this project and the open government philosophy. They gave some indicators on the participation to the workshop
Colombia Team	83.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	Todo indica que se trata de un tipo de iniciativa que es parte de una estrategia integral para reforzar la acción del Estado Colombiano en la superación de la pobreza extrema y población vulnerable. Se observa que en su desarrollo ha ido escalando (etapas) y se encuentra en vías de institucionalizarse (incorporando más ciudadades y temas hacia el 2016).
Colombia Team	83.9	Tania Sanchez	SUSTAINABILITY	4.3	The initiative has been embedded in the government agency's structure and they outline how they will be expanding it to other cities. However, there is no information about the budget committed to sustaining the initiative.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tiago Peixoto	SUSTAINABILITY	2.9	The initiative shows very little evidence of how it can be sustained or scaled-up.
Colombia Team	83.9	Justine Dupuys	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	There is a plan to develop at a large scale this program.
Colombia Team	83.9	Virginia Pardo	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	Se detalla la sostenibilidad en base a la continuidad de los convenios para desarrollar nuevos proyectos en otras 10 ciudadades. Se prevee mayor involucramiento de entidades locales.
Colombia Team	83.9	Justine Dupuys	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	this initiative have a clear focus to improve living conditions of vulnerable population.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tania Sanchez	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative targets poor communities and it demonstrates having delivered improved services. It emphasizes that the added value is the multiplying effect of getting students involved and building on a three party model: community-academia-government. Perhaps, the initiative could be strengthened by adding transparency and accountability components.
Colombia Team	83.9	Virginia Pardo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	La propuesta busca generar espacios de intercambio y aprendizaje que permitan promover la innovación social y promueve el desarrollo de soluciones viables y sostenibles en aras de contribuir con la superación de las necesidades de la población en situación de extrema pobreza y vulnerabilidad.
Colombia Team	83.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	La iniciativa tiene un impacto relevante hacia grupos/población vulnerable y muestra una nueva forma de aproximarse a trabajar en la solucuón de problemas públicos desde un espacio de diseño con los actores (beneficiarios/población afectada) y utilizando capacidades y talentos distribuidos para dicho efecto (universidades). Es un buen caso de cómo la innovación social puede potenciar el mejoramiento de los servicios públicos.
Colombia Team	83.9	Tiago Peixoto	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The only compelling example of outcomes is the ECOLANG project. The impact of other "talleres" is by no means clear.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tania Sanchez	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	There was a wide an open call to nominate, and the decisión was taken by the National OGP Council, but there is no detail as to what were the crieria used to select. This is an initiative included in their OGP NAP which involves many government agencies, and strongly backed with 3 validation claims.
Croatia Team	89.2	Florence Thibault	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.9	We have a good explanation about the consultation and all the process elaborated to nominate the initiative : public call for proposals of initiatives that could best showcase Croatian open government efforts, decision taken by a council composed of representatives of Civil Society, Media, Business, Government, Parliament... Futhemore we have several letters from nongovernmental actors, who attest to the veracity of the claims made in the application.
Croatia Team	89.2	Gertrude Muguzi	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	A diverse and representative OGP Council made the selection and validation letters from three organisations were provided.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tanvi Nagpal	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.8	No civil society partners were consulted in the nomination but several submitted letters of validation.
Croatia Team	89.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	Open call for applications and validation by a Council with representatives from the civil society. Not jointly implemented but four convincing validations of claims.
Croatia Team	89.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.5	Targets the whole population and offers it new tools to get involved in the public debate.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tania Sanchez	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	The scope of the initiative is impressive. It not only brings government closer to citizens by setting up a one-stop-shop for information of all public services and for e-services, but its features also enable participation on draft legislation and on other government documents. Moreover, citizens can track the state administration responses to the submitted comments.
Croatia Team	89.2	Florence Thibault	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	The initiative concern all the population and all public services. It's responding to a real demand. Considering the country context, what is important to stress is the unique building blocks developped. We have to be sure that behind the national portal there is not a lot of portal with any logical approach but we can not appreciate this point here.
Croatia Team	89.2	Gertrude Muguzi	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	This initiative is a very interesting way of making government truly open. It also demonstrates how improved transparency can actually improve efficiency and effectiveness in government which is not always the case. I especially like the improvement in communication between teachers, students and parents and the reduction in bureaucracy to access government administrative services in this regard.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tanvi Nagpal	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.3	The portal provides a direct link between some government services and citizens-- teachers and parents, pharmacies etc. and it appears to be widely used. However, it's unclear whether citizens are actually using this portal for anything more than to receive information ( in the case of parents) or order prescriptions ( does not mean that they are receiving better care! )
Croatia Team	89.2	Gertrude Muguzi	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	All 4 outcomes are addressed in this project. The new efficiency standards set through online access of personal documentation is definitely a plus. Since just over half of the Croatian population has internet access, this is a very useful way to increase accessibility of government services and give a large proportion of the public the opportunity to participate in public decision-making.
Croatia Team	89.2	Florence Thibault	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	Here, the initiative deals with a national project. The number of users is not important (153000 for the portal and 90000 for the mailbox) and do not represent more thn half of the target population but they have accessed to the National portal a lot of times (2.5 millions times). We can suppose that is because the service quality is better ou easier.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tanvi Nagpal	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	See previous comment. There is no evidence that service itself has improved .
Croatia Team	89.2	Tania Sanchez	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.8	The initiative seems to be reaching a wide public, enabling easier access to public services, but also allowing for participating in decisión making and in monitoring performance. It would be interesting to have more data on the performance of the platform.
Croatia Team	89.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.7	E-Consultations allows citizens' better access to public policy information and gives them ways to get involved in designing and evaluating public services. Personal Mailbox creates a direct bi-directional channel for citizens to report issues and for Government to resolve these issues.
Croatia Team	89.2	Gertrude Muguzi	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	The initiative derives its mandate from the law which makes it compulsory for all government institutions to make use of it for certain functions. This is therefore already institutionalized. Further institutionalization is planned. My only concern is the privacy and security of information risks associated with increased online storage, transfer and use of personal information. This was mentioned a risk in the application but I do not have enough technical knowledge to assess the solution that was proposed.
Croatia Team	89.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	Public administrations' involvement has been made compulsory by law. The application shows strong political will/support.
Croatia Team	89.2	Florence Thibault	SUSTAINABILITY	4.5	As I have explained before, we deal here with and important national project that presents a durable model. May be there is an point that is no mentionned here : how the government can help people that do not have a computer/mobile... and how the governement can help people for witch this mean of communication is not easy ?
Croatia Team	89.2	Tania Sanchez	SUSTAINABILITY	4.7	There is high level political will to institutionalize the e-Citizen system; all government agencies are legally obliged to use it for every e-service. An important challenge was addressing the security issue to use personal IDs. Moreover, the government is planning on implementing innovative strategies to get more citizens to use the platform.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tanvi Nagpal	SUSTAINABILITY	4.5	The initiative is quite large and supported centrally. There is no reason to believe that it cannot or will not be scaled. However, it's unclear that it will actually improve the quality of public services.
Croatia Team	89.2	Gertrude Muguzi	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Vulnerable populations such as the elderly and people with disabilities are mentioned as primary beneficiary target groups of the the initiative but there is no substantiation of how and/or to what extent they have been successful in reaching these groups.
Croatia Team	89.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	This initiative suggests that vulnerable populations will get better service. However, this is not proved by the applicant. Moreover, internet access and litteracy are pre-requisites for these populations to enjoy the full experience of E-Citizens.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tania Sanchez	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	It is not targeted for a vulnerable population, but by decreasing the costs to process public services it could have a greater impact on th epoor population.
Croatia Team	89.2	Tanvi Nagpal	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	No. It does not demonstrate that improved access for any special groups or vulnerable populations.
Croatia Team	89.2	Florence Thibault	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	We are not in this case because the initiative is for all the population and not only for vulnerable populations
Estonia Team	86.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.2	Nomination was suggested by the Government, in consultation with civil society and government partners in format of Coordinating Body for the OGP National Action Plan. A think tank and the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry validated the claims.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.1	Evidence need to be more convincing. Active participation of civil society not demonstrated clearly.
Estonia Team	86.8	Ben Taylor	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.3	Validation is fine, but there is little evidence of partnership (with civil society) in implementation
Estonia Team	86.8	Bernadette Leon	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.5	This submission was nominated through the coordinating committee for the OGP action plan and is a project in the action plan. It does not appear to be jointly implemented with an NGO but is an initiative of a number of government departments working together and the letters of support from NGOs provide convincing evidence of support for this initiative.
Estonia Team	86.8	Gertrude Muguzi	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.3	This initiative was nominated by government with some consultation with non-government actors. Validation comprised of letters from one private sector and one research institution. the initiative was implemented by government as part of the OGP Action plan, which by its very nature requires consultation beyond government.
Estonia Team	86.8	Ben Taylor	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.9	A very ambitious project in terms of scale, very innovative use of technology. Globally ground-breaking.
Estonia Team	86.8	Gertrude Muguzi	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	What I like most about this innovation is that it identified an initiative based on the unique context and reinterpreted the brief to suit the local situation. A country with a population that is less than 30% of most African cities and with a very advanced online transparency potentially reaching over 80% of the population, it makes total sense to go beyond one's borders to increase opportunities for local residents by making the environment attractive to foreign investors. This initiative does exactly that.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.2	Use of technology commendable. Civic participation and public accountability is not convinced. More cases need to demonstrate.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bernadette Leon	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.5	Using a digital platform to enable easier and open access to government services and information for foreign business and students is extremely innovative - targeting this foreign business and student community is particularly relevant in the content of shrinking economies and he need to be an attractive destination for investment.
Estonia Team	86.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.6	Two ambitious targets: 1. the first is the direct target -> non residents 2. the second is indirect -> the Estonian people who benefit from non residents investing in Estonia. The initiative is based on a governmental start-up approach, with fast and agile processes, numerous iterations with users.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.1	Not convinced citizen participation in design and delivery and making a social audit.
Estonia Team	86.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.9	Non residents and non native residents have better access to information on public services. Incidently, residents and citizens get access to better and simpler public services, for instance entrepreneurs. Qualifying the public version beta allows Government to be in touch with users for a continuous improvement of the service, and also a more intense involvement of residents and non residents. The goal set for the target population was overreached in the first six months.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bernadette Leon	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.0	At least 2 of the outcomes were achieved, being improving access to services and providing opportunities for service users to give inputs into designing service improvements. Although the initiative is relatively young, the information provided shows that a large number of potential business users are using the system from more than 90 countries.
Estonia Team	86.8	Ben Taylor	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.4	I have interpreted "citizens" to include citizens of other countries, as they are the target population here. The initiative has impressively improved access to services by non-residents.
Estonia Team	86.8	Gertrude Muguzi	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	The initiative exceeded its annual target population, although the target population seems small for a world wide playing field, it is really only targeting business people eligible and interested to conduct business in Estonia. I am not sure how big this target is and how their results compares to the target group. Assuming they assessed their target correctly, their reach has been impressive. The quality of service for potential residents has clearly improved. This is an innovative way to market the country as a gateway into the EU without the unnecessary bureaucracy. Because foreign investment also normally spurs local investment, this is a good way for a small, sparsely populated country with limited options to take control of its own development.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bernadette Leon	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	There appears to be a rigorous monitoring of the demand for this service and constant flexible re-design to expand the services offered through this platform. The challenge would be to have the resources to quickly expand and adjust and to manage this risk they are managing this as a high-priority project with Cabinet oversight, which is good strategy to ensuring resources can be mobilised quickly.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SUSTAINABILITY	4.4	Sustainability action plan is good and risk mitigation plan looks OK.
Estonia Team	86.8	Ben Taylor	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	Has already been institutionalised and is growing rapidly.
Estonia Team	86.8	Gertrude Muguzi	SUSTAINABILITY	4.9	This is an income generating initiative which makes it more likely to remain a priority in allocation of resources than other transparency initiatives. Provided the system continues to operate efficiently and attract investment that grows the economy, it is difficult to see how the initiative would not be something that the government would continue to invest in. Constant communication with government with a view to remaining in line with the country's economic aspirations has also been presented as the primary means through which challenges will be addressed.
Estonia Team	86.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	The initiative is already part of the more global e-Estonia programme. It is already widely open to the public. Registration is even open to "fans of e-Residency". According to the applicant, sustainability strongly depends on the ability to continuously improve services provided by the initiative.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bernadette Leon	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	This initiative is not targeted at the traditional vulnerable groups BUT to some extend it does target non-residents and is aimed at improving access to government for them. Given that, for non-resident businesses and students it can be daunting got access government, this initiative promote their inclusion.
Estonia Team	86.8	Gertrude Muguzi	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no mention of vulnerable groups as direct beneficiaries or of efforts towards greater societal inclusiveness.
Estonia Team	86.8	Ben Taylor	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Not a service aimed particularly at a vulnerable group.
Estonia Team	86.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Not sufficiently convinced. No clear demonstration of beneficiaries and target population. Citizen participation in design, delivery services and monitoring.
Estonia Team	86.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative is not particularly designed for a vulnerable population. However, it concerns foreigners.
France Team	82.8	Mendi Njonjo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.9	Applicant provides sufficient evidence of partnering with other non-government organizations in the validating and the joint implementation of the initiative.
France Team	82.8	Maxine Tanya Hamada	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.8	The initiative, by design, is inclusive and necessitates direct participation of citizens. The challenge of simplifying a complex array of rights and responsibilities into an accessible interface that citizens can query will need continuous partnership with users. It would be good to, over time, also see which sector of the population uses it most.
France Team	82.8	Marija Novkovic	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.9	There is very little evidence on consulting other partners in nominating the initiative, though there are elements of user engagement in the development of the actual product.
France Team	82.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.7	The initiative wasn't nominated by a specific consultation but was included in the OGP Action Plan consultation process. It shows a panel of partners succeeded one another during the past years and a new mechanism to jointly implement the initiative.
France Team	82.8	Milena Nedeva	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	As part of the National Action Plan consultation process the nomination was broadly consulted with the stakeholders.
France Team	82.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.6	The initiative shows how to "reuse" legacy tools to "rebuild" new services with the new paradigms of Open Government. These open paradigms have been used also to implement the initiative, so creating an end-to-end Open approach allowing citizens to acccess easily, openly and directly laws and regulations.
France Team	82.8	Milena Nedeva	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	Clearly described need affecting a large number of the population and a solution that directly addresses the needs identified.
France Team	82.8	Marija Novkovic	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.7	The problem definition is very clear and relevant.
France Team	82.8	Mendi Njonjo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.4	The initiative make a compelling case of using open government approaches where it allows citizens to get access to info on public services (dues) owed to them. Noteworthy- it allows citizens to "own" their data (unique tailored response for citizens)and it's innovation quotient is high where program that crunches large amounts of data to simplified info that (marginalized) citizens can access.
France Team	82.8	Maxine Tanya Hamada	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.7	This is a good example of using technology to institutionalize a direct relationship between the citizen and the public institutions that deliver needed public services. It will be good to see in the coming months and years if this changes the relationship of the citizen with the state and the behaviour of public service delivery institutions towards more open and active partnership with citizens
France Team	82.8	Mendi Njonjo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.7	The initiative shows potential of providing concrete improvements in public services or access to services. As described, it will allow citizens (especially those most marginalized) to know what they're entitled to re social services in an easy way. As described this is an iterative process that builds on/ is improved by user interaction.
France Team	82.8	Maxine Tanya Hamada	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.5	The submission cited a specific goal of addressing the problem that 36% of potential beneficiaries did not avail of a public service package in 2012. There is no indication yet from the submission if this has been achieved. It will be good to hear if there are such changes in the availment rates of marginalized sectors of the population.
France Team	82.8	Marija Novkovic	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.2	The application lack information on the number of users. Therefore, I cannot assess whether the initiative widened access to social benefits for the target population.
France Team	82.8	Milena Nedeva	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.5	As the initiative is still in its beat version and being tested and fine-tuned it has not yet become a new standard for the relationship between government and citizens
France Team	82.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.1	Even if this project reinforces transparency, citizen empowerment, public effectiveness, and public action modernization, it has a lack of indicators to show its use by a large section of the target population.
France Team	82.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	SUSTAINABILITY	4.6	The application shows clear path to enlarge the initiative to other areas and have a clear view of the challenges it will face in the future. The leading implementer, SGMAP, is working to inculde further services and adminsitrations in the service provided and the team is well placed to do so in the Prime Minister's office.
France Team	82.8	Marija Novkovic	SUSTAINABILITY	3.7	There seems to be a solid path towards launching the system so as to better serve the citizens of France. However, the applicant should consider how poor, marginalised groups without access to internet or a personal computer woiuld be able to access the service. This is still a major concern.
France Team	82.8	Milena Nedeva	SUSTAINABILITY	3.5	Further tests and experiments are planned before the initiative becomes a durable model.
France Team	82.8	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	There is a clear model for expanding the platform to include other services, regulations and policies. A large factor in scaling up will be the feedback and level of use by the citizens that would drive other public service delivery institutions to also re-use and adopt the platform and citizen direct queries.
France Team	82.8	Mendi Njonjo	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	Applicant makes a good case that the initiative will be institutionalized/ scaled-up over time where it's part of National OGP plans, and the Municipalities have been "urged" to participate. More information on proposed Municipal uptake would have been useful.
France Team	82.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	This initiative has a clear target in the vulnerable population that could not accede to the social benefits.
France Team	82.8	Mendi Njonjo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The applicant makes a very compelling case that vulnerable population will profit from this program. It is worth noting that this is designed for marginalized and vulnerable populations.
France Team	82.8	Milena Nedeva	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The low-income, elderly and vulnerable groups are a clear target of the initiative as they are the main users of social assistance.
France Team	82.8	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The potential is there, there is no data yet that actually demonstrates that the service delivery outcome for the marginalized population has been achieved. But access has been greatly improved
France Team	82.8	Marija Novkovic	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Yes, provided that the hurdle of access to a computer with internet connection is overcome.
Georgia Team	69.9	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.0	The initiative was nominated by the national coordination mechanism for OGP Georgia, after discussions in several meeting of the Forum, but with little evidence of collective brainstorming. Although the applicant claims this is a joint application, it does not seem to be the case: as its validation of claims letter shows it, the joint applicant was not involved in designing, implementing nor monitoring the initiative jointly with the government. Moreover, there is only one validation of claims, written by the co-chair of the Open Government Georgia's Forum (the other co-chair is a Government representative).
Georgia Team	69.9	Ben Taylor	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.4	Jointed nominated and convincingly validated, but not jointly implemented.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tim Hughes	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.7	The initiative was selected through Georgia's Open Government Forum with civil society, but there appears to have been no consultation with stakeholders beyond the forum. The application is a joint application, but it is not clear what role the CSO listed had in developing or monitoring the initiative. The initiative has a strong letter of validation from civil society representatives.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tania Sanchez	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.3	Not a lot of detail on how the initiative was selected, but it was a decisión by the National OGP Fórum. It is a joint application, but is not jointly implemented. One letter of validation.
Georgia Team	69.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	The initiative has the support and backing of civil society organizations (SCO).
Georgia Team	69.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	It is an interesting initiative on how to involve more directly to citizens in the design and delivery of public services (from listening the voice of the people, their needs and problems accessing public services, and improve the delivering through a open participation process). It relates to civic participation to improve public service delivery.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tim Hughes	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	The strong emphasis of the initiative of creating feedback loops to those who leave feedback is particularly to be commended. The initiative appears to accessible to a large percentage of the population through the Public Service Halls, which the application states serves 28,400 customers a day. The application states that the initiative has been used on 1139 occasions, but it's not clear in the context of the number of daily visits the extent to which this is a success.
Georgia Team	69.9	Ben Taylor	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.4	Not hugely innovative, but a good, solidly feedback mechanism, well designed to link quickly back to service providers.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tania Sanchez	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	Voice of the Costumer builds on a previous initiative, which is the Public Service Hall (PSH). It uses an open government approach to receive feedback from users and improve the PSH, allowing users to further shape it and track the results of the feedback they provide.
Georgia Team	69.9	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.5	The initiative brings a new approach for G2C relations, as it allows citizens to provide with feedback on public services. However, access to the initiative requires filling in application forms at special desks located in public administrations, or to make a phone call. Digitalising these processes is only planned for the future.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tania Sanchez	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.9	An indicator of the number of citizens who have provided their feedback through this system is clear; the idea is taht it will have a direc impact in impriving the provision of public services through the PSH.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tim Hughes	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.8	The application presents some clear case studies of public services responding to feedback and improving services as a result. However, it's unclear the extent to which this has taken place, and whether these changes have gone beyond one-off service improvements to help drive systemic changes in the way services are delivered.
Georgia Team	69.9	Ben Taylor	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.4	Good feedback mechanism, engagement to date hasn't been very high.
Georgia Team	69.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.8	Lack of information on more robust indicators or metrics to assess the results and impact of the initiative. On the other hand and the logic of the principles of open government, the initiative should be called "the voice of the people" (given that access and quality of public services is related more to guarantee rights that simply serve clients - or customer concept).
Georgia Team	69.9	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.3	The initiative has started showing the achievement of outcomes, with 1,139 received applications and with the impact of feedback in providing more adequate public services. However, the overall improvement of public services remains unclear and it seems that much still needs to be done for the target population to be reached.
Georgia Team	69.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	This is an initiative that proves sustainable and useful for improving public services involving citizens.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tania Sanchez	SUSTAINABILITY	3.4	Does not discuss challenges, but describes how the initiatve will be further developed and subject to being shared with other agencies.
Georgia Team	69.9	Ben Taylor	SUSTAINABILITY	2.9	Good links with service providers mean there is a clear means for scaling up, limited engagement means not certain that this will be achieved.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tim Hughes	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	The application sets out some plans for institutionalising the initiative, but does not list or address any risks or challenges. Possible areas to consider might be how to ensure widespread use of the feedback system across societal groups and how to use the system to develop systemic improvements across services and regions.
Georgia Team	69.9	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SUSTAINABILITY	2.7	The applicant seems to have identified some of the flaws of the current solution and intends to address them in the near future, for instance through the digitalisation of the processes and the reaching of users on social networks.
Georgia Team	69.9	Ben Taylor	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Not specifically targeted at any vulnerable population.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tania Sanchez	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative does not target a vulnerable population; but rather to every person who uses the PHS.
Georgia Team	69.9	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative doesn't seem to adress specific vulnerable populations, although it may help improve public services provided to them by allowing them to offer feedback.
Georgia Team	69.9	Tim Hughes	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The application does not make reference to improving service delivery access or outcomes for a vulnerable population. Evidence from other contexts suggests that vulnerable or excluded populations are underrepresented in using feedback mechanisms. Extra attention, therefore, needs to be given to engaging them.
Georgia Team	69.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	In the field of the open government's principles, the initiative should be called "the voice of the people" or "the voice of the citizens".
Guatemala Team	66.8	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	La iniciativa cuenta con el aval, apoyo y respaldo de OSC (Guatecívica y Congreso Transparente) y su postulación fue producto de un proceso participativo dentro del grupo de trabajo sobre gobierno abierto en Guatemala.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tania Sanchez	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.3	It is not clear how initiatives were initially nominated, but the decision was made jointly between government and CSOs that participate in the national OGP process. They included validation letters. The initoatove is ot jointly implemented.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Virginia Pardo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.6	Se realizó el proceso de selección de postulación en el marco de programad de Gobierno Abierto, contemplando la opinión de organizaciones de Soc. Civil. Si bien es una iniciativa avalada y presentada en conjunto con Soc. Civil, la misma fue desarrollada e implementada por parte del Gobierno.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Justine Dupuys	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.2	It´a a joint project. The participation of civil society during the process of nomination was guaranteed but not during the process of selection. the validation of claim are signed by the same NGO that participated to the initiative
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tiago Peixoto	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.3	The initiative presented evidence of effort in consulting for the nomination but not for the design of the initiative.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tiago Peixoto	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.5	There is no compelling case for improving service delivery, particularly with regard to open government approaches, it is essentially an e-gov solution and it does not show how that improves service delivery.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	La iniciativa supone un espacio único para acceder e informarse sobre prestaciones y servicios públicos (la idea de catálogo o ventanilla única estatal). Utiliza herramientas tecnológicas y una plataforma digital para facilitar información, trámites e interacción para el ciudadano (lo cual releva una innovación en el enfoque de trabajo dado el contexto del país en cuestión). En tal sentido, hace más transparente, accesible y sencilla la relación entre la red de servicios públicos disponibles desde el Estado hacia las personas.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Justine Dupuys	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	this is a quite top down approach but this is also a very useful platform of transparency and e-government. This can improve various public services for citizen because of the possibility to made some administrative processes online
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tania Sanchez	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.5	The problema definition and the initiative design are very scarcely defined. Although this submission does not make a convincing case, one can draw some conclusión given the type of initiative.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Virginia Pardo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.8	La propuesta presenta una herramienta tecnológica que plantea un enfoque de transparencia, facilidad y mejora al acceso a la información y los servicios a la ciudadanía de Guatemala, bajo el esquema de portal y catalogo centralizado. No se plantea participación de la ciudadanía o Soc. Civil en el proceso de construcción. Enfoque innovador muy débil desde el punto de vista de participación y colaboración.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Justine Dupuys	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.9	there is some signs of achieving more transparence and accountability but there is no clear indicators.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.8	Los beneficios del catálogo nacional de servicios públicos es evidente como espacio que articula y concentra en un mismo espacio (digital) la oferta e información sobre prestaciones y servicios públicos. Sin embargo, en el detalle de la postulación no se da mayor información sobre métricas e indicadores que permitan relevar sus potencialidades e impacto en la ciudadanía (ello considerando además, los potenciales problemas de brecha digital y acceso a tecnología de quienes más necesitan de los SSPP pero que menos acceso tienen a ellos).
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tiago Peixoto	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.1	Some evidence that it may have increased transparency about services available, but no evidence as to whether that information is actually used by the public.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Virginia Pardo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.9	Se comprueba evidencia de existencia de producto en producción, con la información y acceso a organismos y servicios. No se presenta evidencia del uso, accesos y valoración de la herramienta por parte de la ciudadanía.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tania Sanchez	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	It is clear that the intention is to make access to information about public services easier, but its effect on the quality of public services is unclear.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tiago Peixoto	SUSTAINABILITY	2.7	Does not present convincing evidence that the process will be institutionalized nor scaled-up.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tania Sanchez	SUSTAINABILITY	2.4	Again, the narrative is extremely brief. Only one step to sustain the initiatve is mentioned, but does not mention nor address challenges.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Virginia Pardo	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	Se plantea la sostenibilidad institucional a cargo de la Comisión Presidencial de Transparencia y Gobierno Electrónico. No se muestran evidencias de evolución contemplando procesos más abiertos de colaboración y participación ciudadana.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	Por lo visto, no solo se trata de una iniciativa que forma parte de los compromisos definidos en la estrategia de gobierno abierto de Guatemala (Plan OGP) sino que responde a un trabajo que seguirá escalando y mejorando en el tiempo para fortalecer la entrega de información, procesos y provisión de servicios públicos apoyado en herramientas digitales y multicanalidad en la atención a los ciudadanos.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Justine Dupuys	SUSTAINABILITY	3.2	they plan to extend the information available in the platform but Guatemala does not share the specific activities in order to reach this goal
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tiago Peixoto	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no evidence of more inclusive development.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Tania Sanchez	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	It is not targeted to a vulnerable population, or at least that is not mentioned. The initiative lists the services of all government agencies.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Justine Dupuys	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The vulnerable population is not specify in the initiative.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Virginia Pardo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Iniciativa que no aplica directamente a poblaciones vulnerables o sectores específicos de la población que requieren especial atención.
Guatemala Team	66.8	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	La iniciativa presentada está directamente orientada a mejorar el acceso, otorgar información oportuna y facilitar la interacción entre gobierno y cuidadanía en lo relativo al conjunto de servicios públicos disponibles. Responde al eje central de la convocatoria del OGP Awards para el 2015 . () OGP ha elegido este tema para 2015 en reconocimiento del hecho de que los servicios públicos son la interfaz más común entre los ciudadanos y el gobierno, y que los gobiernos deben garantizar la transparencia, rendición de cuentas y capacidad de respuesta en su diseño y ejecución. Buena calidad y servicios públicos eficaces responden a las necesidades de las personas, incluidos los grupos vulnerables, y forman la base del desarrollo inclusivo.
Honduras Team	66.2	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.7	La iniciativa presentada es parte de los compromisos del plan de acción OGP de Honduras y se asume que su postulación a este concurso fue el resultado de un proceso de deliberación de la Secretaría Técnica del Comité de seguimiento del PAGAH 2014-2016. No obstante no se presenta como un trabajo desarrollado o con respaldo/aval directo de (alguna) OSC sino más bien como una iniciativa a ser desarrollada desde el propio gobierno.
Honduras Team	66.2	Virginia Pardo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.0	Se validó postulación en el marco del Comité de Gobierno Abierto, con participación de Soc. Civil, y empresas. No se realizó postulación conjunta con otras organizaciones. No se registran más evidencias de comprueben más actividades de colaboración en la propuesta. Si es una iniciativa de claro interés público.
Honduras Team	66.2	Tiago Peixoto	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.3	Shows evidence of consulting civil society organisations for the nomination.
Honduras Team	66.2	Tania Sanchez	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.5	Not sufficient evidence of consultation, but the implementation of the initiative involves partnering with several CSO and international agencies. Validation claims are not support letters, but rather MOUs with one CSO and an agreement with the World Bank.
Honduras Team	66.2	Justine Dupuys	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.3	no identifying mechanism of participation for the selection and nomination. it´a not a joint project and there is no validation of claims, they shared documentation of contracts and projects they signed with the world bank and an NGO.
Honduras Team	66.2	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.7	Vincula temas de transparencia en el sector educativo con mejoramiento de la infraestructura (acceso a información y rendición de cuentas).
Honduras Team	66.2	Tania Sanchez	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.8	The initiative is designed to support an ambitious revamping of the education system by increasing access to information,, civic participation and public accountability.
Honduras Team	66.2	Tiago Peixoto	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.0	The proposal fails to establish a link between open government approaches and improvement in service delivery. Most of the activities that seem to have an effect are managerial in their nature.
Honduras Team	66.2	Virginia Pardo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.6	Es una iniciativa claramente identificada como de reforma educativa. Principalmente el foco esta dado en la mejora radical de la gestión y gobernabilidad de la educación, así como en la transparencia y rendición de cuentas. Los instrumentos planteados dentro del enfoque de Gobierno Abierto, corresponde a transparencia de la información mediante sitio Web y la participación dentro de las familias, denuncias, etc. Si bien es una iniciativa de alto impacto, no podría clasificarse de innovación.
Honduras Team	66.2	Justine Dupuys	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.9	despite the strong top down approach of the initiative, there is a lot of open government components like transparency, accountability, use of new technologies, and the active participation of the target population like fathers who are taking part to the monitoring of the schools and a system for denouncing abuses online
Honduras Team	66.2	Tania Sanchez	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	The initiative has been in place for over two years, and has managed to achieve the four outcomes to significantly improve education. Promoting the involvement of civil society --importantly, parents-- has been key.
Honduras Team	66.2	Virginia Pardo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.6	Claramente se evidencian, mediante la información publicada en el sitio web e informes las mejoras impactadas en el sector educativo hondureño, vinculado con el mejor acceso y calidad en la educación para niños y adolescentes. No se evidencia tan claramente la participación activa de la ciudadanía y Soc. Civil en el proceso.
Honduras Team	66.2	Justine Dupuys	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	There is a lot of information available on education system thanks to this initiative with friendly visualization, they had an independent evaluation of improvement of the number of school days for kids in Honduras.
Honduras Team	66.2	Tiago Peixoto	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.1	There is some evidence of reaching the outcomes, but their extent is unclear.
Honduras Team	66.2	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	La postulación no presenta detalle sobre indicadores y/o métricas que permitan valorar su potencial impacto. Si bien se entregan algunos datos y cifras sobre los resultados alcanzados a la fecha, y cómo ello ha mejorado el sector educativo en Honduras, no existe claridad sobre el producto final en relación a la idea de gobierno abierto.
Honduras Team	66.2	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SUSTAINABILITY	2.5	Según lo presentado, se trata de un enfoque de trabajo para potenciar y desarrollar la política de educación en Honduras.
Honduras Team	66.2	Tania Sanchez	SUSTAINABILITY	4.5	Points out some challenges and mentions plans to address those; underlines that implementing the education law and its regulation requieres the sustainability of the initiative. Involvement of stakeholders strengthens the prospects of sustainability.
Honduras Team	66.2	Justine Dupuys	SUSTAINABILITY	2.7	There is a plan to scale up this initiative but it is more a public policy for education than an initiative of open governement
Honduras Team	66.2	Tiago Peixoto	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	Yes, there seems to be an institutional framework that allows for sustainability.
Honduras Team	66.2	Virginia Pardo	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	La sostenibilidad esta planteada en el marco de la continuidad de las acciones de la secretaria de educación y de continuar implementando la Ley Fundamental de Educación mediante la aplicación de los reglamentos de manera gradual y efectiva.
Honduras Team	66.2	Tania Sanchez	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Ultimate beneficiaries of the initiative are school children.
Honduras Team	66.2	Virginia Pardo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	La iniciativa claramente involucra población vulnerable de niños, niñas y adolescentes del sector educativo Hondureño, procurando mejorar significativamente el acceso y calidad de su educación.
Honduras Team	66.2	Justine Dupuys	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	this initiative improved the education system. The kids are the vulnerable population that benefit from this initiative
Honduras Team	66.2	Tiago Peixoto	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Not really. Although there is an improvement in service delivery (access to school) it is unclear if that is related to the "opengov" reforms.
Honduras Team	66.2	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Se trata de una estrategia que pretende impactar positivamente en la gobernanza y calidad del sistema educativo hondureño.
Hungary Team	58.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.2	The initiative is jointly implemented but showed minimal consultation process for nomination and poor validation of claims.
Hungary Team	58.8	Radu Puchiu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.2	The project is a pilot showing a good collaboration at local level between the local authorities and the applicant NGO. Still, one of the support letters is from the same organization as the applicant and both support letters show only that the provided information is correct.
Hungary Team	58.8	Marija Novkovic	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.2	The initiative is driven by an NGO and later adopted by the local authorities. There is, however, not much evidence of wider consultations on the most prominent open government initiatives.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tanvi Nagpal	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.8	The initiative was jointly implemented with the local government of Pazmand and the EDemocracy Workshop Association and NGO. It is still a pilot and quite small.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tim Hughes	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.7	The application is a joint application with a CSO, but does not describe any consultation on the nomination of the initiative with wider civil society. The initiative was jointly implemented by a CSO and local government.
Hungary Team	58.8	Marija Novkovic	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.6	A moderate score is given here mostly because the initiative still did not yield concrete results.
Hungary Team	58.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.9	The initiative wants to achieve transparency where most of the citizens get in touch with the public administration, at local level, but it is yet in the pilot phase. It makes a convincing case for the use of OG principles but it is still limited to one municipality. The target population is therefore still limited.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tanvi Nagpal	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.3	The pilot has good ambitions but it's really about openness of government rules and procedures and not about improving services.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tim Hughes	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.0	The application makes a case for the importance of increasing access to information, but does not link this to any impact on the improvement of public services. Beyond increasing the supply of information, the application does not describe how the initiative responded to the needs of citizens.
Hungary Team	58.8	Radu Puchiu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.5	Although at a small scale, the project uses the open governement principles - mostly increasing the access to information in order to increase the public participation.
Hungary Team	58.8	Marija Novkovic	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.2	The initiative appears to be in the inception stage.
Hungary Team	58.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.6	The initiative reports some indicators that show a positive tendency for the pilot project, but there is not clear evidence of citizen engagement and better quality of the public service. There is no evidence that the increase in local population is due to the Glass Village Project.
Hungary Team	58.8	Radu Puchiu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.3	The project shows a strong focus in increasing access to information and a good collaboration between the various stakeholders at local level aimed by the project. The description showed an increase in public participation in reltion with the city hall ("Increasing local government population (3,1% within 5 years), growing tax incomes (almost 60% within 5 years), and over-the-average, strong participation in elections (local: 53% in 2014, votes for the mayor: 68,8% in 2014) are promising feedback for openness and sustainability.") but it is unclear to what extent it is a result of the project.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tim Hughes	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.7	Pázmánd should be commended for taking a lead on increasing transparency in local government in Hungary. However, the outcomes listed in the application do not relate to public services, and it's unclear the extent to which they are attributable to the initiative, rather than other societal factors. It is also not clear the extent to which the initiative has been used by citizens and/or civil society.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tanvi Nagpal	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.6	About 700 people with access to Internet now have the ability to get information about all the services offered by the local government. Not clear if services have improved or if there is much citizen feedback in the process
Hungary Team	58.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	SUSTAINABILITY	2.8	Even if the initiative can become a model for the other community in the country, is not clear how this process will be achieved and how it addresses the challenges and the threats. There is no indication that central Government ore other municipalities are endorsing or willing to spread the experience. Definetly, for the near future, the project will go on in Pazmand.
Hungary Team	58.8	Marija Novkovic	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	The risk mitigation strategy is not well developed. How the initiative could be replicated in other areas of Hungary remains unclear.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tim Hughes	SUSTAINABILITY	3.3	The application shows a continued commitment to institutionalising transparency through the Pázmánd government. However, it does not list any challenges or how they will be addressed. These could include extending the transparency beyond the areas required by law, or building the demand and capacity for accessing information among citizens.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tanvi Nagpal	SUSTAINABILITY	2.8	The goal of the NGO is to take this initiative beyond this village. However it's unclear how it plans to do so.
Hungary Team	58.8	Radu Puchiu	SUSTAINABILITY	2.1	The project was aimed to show that a good implementation at a local level can be a model to scale up at the entire country: "When a working technical solution to fulfill the public data publishing obligations for local governments meets the involvement of local and expert civic groups, a new design of legal, community and technical aspects are becoming the ingredients to significantly improve local data transparency, as a public service delivery."
Hungary Team	58.8	Radu Puchiu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The project doesn't show a focus on the vulnerable population.
Hungary Team	58.8	Stefano Pizzicannella	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative doesn't address any vulnerable population category.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tim Hughes	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The application does not make any reference to improving services for vulnerable populations.
Hungary Team	58.8	Tanvi Nagpal	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no evidence of this initiative targeting special populations.
Hungary Team	58.8	Marija Novkovic	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative is web-based and could consequently be exclusive by design. The applicant should consider addressing the needs of marginalized groups.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Marija Novkovic	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	This is a very compelling case of broad, meaningful and participatory consultations on the national nomination for the OpenGov Award. The enclosed references speak highly of the initiative.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Mendi Njonjo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The applicant provided sufficient evidence of partnering with other non-government organizations in nominating and validating the initiative? As described, this was a collaborative nomination and selection process involving CSOs, Government and the public. Worth noting was the clear and open information provided by applicant on the make up of jury that represented various stakeholders including academics, the youth, civil society and the Government.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Radu Puchiu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.7	The nomination of the project was not only a result of a very strong collaboration and endorsement from all the important stakeholders: Government, through the Office of the President, NGOs and business entities. Also, the project was jointly implemented by the Government and NGOs.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Tim Hughes	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The application describes a multi-stage consultation process, with an open call for nominations and a diverse panel making the final selection. The initiative was jointly implemented and the application includes strong validation letters from a range of organisations.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Stefano Pizzicannella	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The initiative shows strong participation and a very wide and exhaustive consultation process for the nomination. It is jointly implemented with a wide partnership among public, private and NGO sectors and has strong validation of claims. This is also due to the long standing implementation of the initiaive.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Radu Puchiu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.0	The project makes a good case of using the power of collaboration in difficult environment situation. Although targets only a small number of communities it showes a model in terms of approach.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Tim Hughes	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.5	Pencerah Nusantara is a very ambitious initiative which targets a large percentage of the population and is clearly responding to a range of pressing needs. The application outlines how Pencerah Nusantara has used some open government mechanisms, but it could have been strengthened with more detail on the operation and impact of these approaches (e.g. on the initiative design, and outcomes). The partnership with business and civil society to deliver the initiative is clearly articulated, but the partnership with citizens is less so.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Stefano Pizzicannella	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.7	The initiative targets a specific population sector with very clear needs and adopts the open governments approaches both for the population and for the participants / partner to the initiative; the technology is used as a tool to reach the goals and not as a goal by itself.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Marija Novkovic	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.2	The initiative is well designed to respond to an acute need for more accessible, more effective services, while also taking into account the specificity of the local context.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Mendi Njonjo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	Applicant makes a compelling case of using open government approaches to improve public service delivery. Specifically, the project improves access to information, increases civic participation and health outcomes.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Marija Novkovic	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.9	The initiative provides ample opportunity for citizen feedback and co-decision on future priorities.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Radu Puchiu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.3	More than two outcomes were achieved. The described community health centres in deprived and least developed areas are aiming both the quality of services and beneficiaries satisfaction. Also the project set a new standard by the proposed model of community management.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Tim Hughes	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	The evidence presented demonstrates that the initiative is having a positive impact on the accessibility and quality of health services for citizens in the 7 districts. Aspects of the initiative appear to be increasing citizens access to information on local services and providing opportunities to shape them, though the detail and evidence here is less clear. It would be useful to understand the extent to which the improvements in services are being driven by the open government mechanisms, rather than other factors (e.g. increased funding, capacity building, etc.).
Indonesia Team	92.1	Mendi Njonjo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.7	Applicant provides evidence of the initiative achieving concrete improvements in public services or access to services. In the areas where the health services have been launched, there is evidence of uptake (including citizen participation in monitoring services) that has been presented by applicant.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Stefano Pizzicannella	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	5.0	The initiative sets a new standard to deploy health services in the country, spreading the open government principles of participation, transparency and accountability among citizens and local government staff. On the other side it raises awareness on these principles in the youth of the country.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Mendi Njonjo	SUSTAINABILITY	4.9	Applicant make a compelling case that the initiative will be institutionalized or scaled-up over time, and of note is that this initiative aims to scale up to other areas where health services are scarce.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Stefano Pizzicannella	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	The model of the initiative has been adopted by the country government to be deployed at national scale with full endorsment by the President.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Radu Puchiu	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	Giving the high level endorsement and the model designed for scaling-up, the project makes a strong case for large scale implementation and a good example at international level.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Tim Hughes	SUSTAINABILITY	3.3	The application outlines a number of activities being undertaken to support the institutionalisation and sustainability of the initiative. The application does not, however, list or address any challenges. Scaling the initiative to cover a country the size of Indonesia will undoubtedly raise many.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Marija Novkovic	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	There is evidence of initiative being scaled up to the national level. There are also compelling claims of broadening the partnership network,
Indonesia Team	92.1	Marija Novkovic	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	This is a solid example of inclusive development. I fully support the initiative.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Mendi Njonjo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Applicant successfully demonstrates that it can successfully improve service delivery access to vulnerable populations. Worth noting that this is a program designed with an aim to end marginalization.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Stefano Pizzicannella	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative has targeted vulnerable population since its conception.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Tim Hughes	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The application places a clear emphasis on raising the access and quality of services for vulnerable populations.
Indonesia Team	92.1	Radu Puchiu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The project targets especially the communities in deprived and least developed areas.
Israel Team	60.9	Siapha Kamara	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.9	there is no evidence of consulting with others outside government
Israel Team	60.9	Tanvi Nagpal	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.7	The initiative is implemented by many agencies of the government but it does not appear to have an CSO participation.
Israel Team	60.9	Radu Puchiu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.7	The proposed project it is joint application from a government agency and a civil society organization. There are two recommendations from two civil society NGOs endorsing the project. No other evidence of consultation was provided. Still, being included in the country's NAP it might have some consultation process implied.
Israel Team	60.9	Ritva Reinikka	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.7	The application is not clear regarding the nomination process. Partnership within government comes across strong and extensive. The two informative validation letters come from relevant CSOs.
Israel Team	60.9	Tim Hughes	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.9	No consultation or joint application. Collaboration with other government agencies outlined, but none with external organisations. One letter of recommendation from a civil society organisation.
Israel Team	60.9	Siapha Kamara	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	This is a definitive an innovative approach that makes access to information easier and faster; . This one-shop stop platform is definitely what is required in many countries and institutions. Reducing the bureaucracy empowers citizen to want to engage and influence governance.
Israel Team	60.9	Radu Puchiu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.0	The project is focused in increasing access to information by building a Freedom of Information Central Website (FOICW) which aims to serve as the main platform on which information already provided by the authorities, as well as information about agreements and contracts with private parties. It affects a large number of population.
Israel Team	60.9	Ritva Reinikka	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.4	The initiative makes an exceptionally compelling case for increasing access to information by using modern technology. This initiative is most likely to increase transparency and public accountability in a big way -- in the entire country. It is interesting to note that centralizing in this case makes eminent sense from the citizen point of view.
Israel Team	60.9	Tim Hughes	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.6	While the application outlines how the central website will support the making of freedom of information requests, it does not make the case for how this will improve public service delivery.
Israel Team	60.9	Tanvi Nagpal	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	The goal of the initiative is to centralize access to all information regarding the services that the government offers and remove duplication. It uses one impressive data base which brings together data from hundreds of agencies. The goal of the freedom of information site is not however to improve service delivery per se but to improve access to information.
Israel Team	60.9	Tanvi Nagpal	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	The site is up and working and thousands of people use it to get information so that objective was fulfilled. The goal of the initiative is to gather more information on the services in one place but not necessarily to improve services.
Israel Team	60.9	Radu Puchiu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	More than two outcomes were achieved. According to the submission, during 2014 there was an increase of 40% Freedom of Information applications that were submitted to the central government although this was a result of more factors (implementation of the project was one of them).
Israel Team	60.9	Tim Hughes	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.0	Some evidence of an increase in freedom of information requests provided, though it's unclear the extent to which the central website (rather than other changes) contributed to this. No evidence provided of impact on access to or quality of public services.
Israel Team	60.9	Siapha Kamara	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.2	The information provided points to potential, but there is no concrete evidence either in the application or the supportive documentation/ video of utilization by citizens., This initiative is in the formative stage
Israel Team	60.9	Ritva Reinikka	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.0	The application notes that there was a 40% increase in FOI applications submitted to central government, partly because the centralized web site lowered the bureaucratic barriers. This is the only indicator mentioned in the application.
Israel Team	60.9	Tanvi Nagpal	SUSTAINABILITY	4.9	Yes, there is no reason to believe that the site will not continue to exist or include more information although the team has listed that as being one of the foreseeable challenges.
Israel Team	60.9	Tim Hughes	SUSTAINABILITY	3.5	The application outlines a number of challenges for institutionalising the initiative, but provides limited information on how they will be addressed. Unclear as to how the applicant plans to raise awareness of the website, and whether this will be sufficient to overcome the challenges listed.
Israel Team	60.9	Siapha Kamara	SUSTAINABILITY	3.8	Applicant has demonstrated commitment to institutionalize the initiative ; is aware of the challenges and has plans to address them.
Israel Team	60.9	Ritva Reinikka	SUSTAINABILITY	3.1	The application explains challenges well. Given strong within-government collaboration and support from CSOs this initiative appears to be quite sustainable.
Israel Team	60.9	Radu Puchiu	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	The applicant described a clear way to overcome the challenges and presented a durable model for scaling-up.
Israel Team	60.9	Tim Hughes	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	No reference made to vulnerable populations or to the improvement of access to or outcomes of public services.
Israel Team	60.9	Siapha Kamara	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	This initiative is at the development phase catering to the wider population .
Israel Team	60.9	Ritva Reinikka	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	While an initiative for all, it is possible that some of the vulnerable groups mentioned above will benefit from the considerably easier access to information facilitated by the central web site.
Israel Team	60.9	Radu Puchiu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The project aims mostly the access to information. There is not clear if the vulnerable population was targeted or a more inclusive development was implied.
Israel Team	60.9	Tanvi Nagpal	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	No. There are no special features to accommodate vulnerable populations or special needs.
Italy Team	76.7	Marija Novkovic	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.4	There is no evidence of consulting other stakeholders in nominating this initiative.
Italy Team	76.7	Milena Nedeva	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.1	No information is provided on the consultation process for the nomination of this particular initiative,
Italy Team	76.7	Mendi Njonjo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.9	Applicant provides sufficient evidence of partnering with other groups (government, non-government organizations, media groups etc.) for jointly implementing the initiative.
Italy Team	76.7	Radu Puchiu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	There application is part of the country's NAP and shows not only that was jointly developed and implemented but a strong support from civil society and media for the application.
Italy Team	76.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.9	The mutual realization by the state and its partner institutions that the data was not being used is the foundation of this partnership. Both the supply and the demand side for the data agree on a trajectory for meaningful and re-usability of the available open data.
Italy Team	76.7	Marija Novkovic	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.6	The numbers of searches on the public spending note is quite staggering. The initiative managed to respond to the need for more openness and transparency.
Italy Team	76.7	Radu Puchiu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	The initiative shows a strong commitment towards using the technology and establishes a good model for open data use and re-use. Targets a large number of population by combining in a innovative way the data visualization for an increased access to information and a better way of understanding data.
Italy Team	76.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.4	The selection of three focus areas to deepen the use and reuse of available open data shows the target of this initiative. The initiative has the potential to expand to other focus areas and thereby widen the scope and reach.
Italy Team	76.7	Mendi Njonjo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	By getting more traction and usage for open & public data, the initiative make a compelling case of using open government approaches. Through increased access to information, there is possibility of increased civic (and other stakeholder participation) & public service delivery.
Italy Team	76.7	Milena Nedeva	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.3	Clearly identified deficit and evidence-based rationale for opening public data.
Italy Team	76.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.0	The initiative has three of the four outcomes. There is not so much data on whether the initiative has translated into concrete improvements in public spending, community resiliency and delivery of public works. In the future, these may perhaps be more apparent and measured.
Italy Team	76.7	Mendi Njonjo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	The initiative seeks to get more traction for the data usage (e.g though visualizations more public and researchers etc. are using the information). Validation video provides some information on how this can translate to improvements in public services.
Italy Team	76.7	Milena Nedeva	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	Based on the numbers quoted the initiative clearly established a new standard for government-citizen interaction.
Italy Team	76.7	Radu Puchiu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.8	More than two outcomes were achieved. The initiative widened the access to information using tools for better understanding of the data. To some extent is sets a new approach towards the relation between government and citizens in the way data is opendata is used.
Italy Team	76.7	Marija Novkovic	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.1	There appears to be a mechanism for monitoring and overseeing the work of public sector bodies. It would be interesting to know which groups engage with open data and reuse it. The assumption is that this attracts NGOs and high profile data driven journalists, as well as developers. Are there any plans for engaging other groups?
Italy Team	76.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	The national open data strategy is positioned as the sustainability driver - done in continuous consultation with civil society and data users. The scale at which this could be expanded will in part depend on the ability to show a demonstrable impact on public service delivery.
Italy Team	76.7	Mendi Njonjo	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	Applicant makes a compelling case on the potential for this being scaled up over time (low cost of use, reusability of data etc.) . However- this claim assumes that making data re-usable= actionable data which cannot be validated.
Italy Team	76.7	Radu Puchiu	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	The model is surely one institutionalized and has a strong potential for scaling-up.
Italy Team	76.7	Milena Nedeva	SUSTAINABILITY	4.3	Detailed and convincing approach to ensuring sustainability through ongoing involvement of a variety of stakeholders and encouragement of active re-use of public data.
Italy Team	76.7	Marija Novkovic	SUSTAINABILITY	4.1	Please consider other risks associated with this initiative, such as the low adoption rate of new web or mobile tools. This is usually the case when users are not consulted in the design stage. Consider more inclusive forms of innovation as hackathons attract only a small section of the society.
Italy Team	76.7	Marija Novkovic	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	It is difficult to assess this as there is no information in the submission on the profile of data4all users.
Italy Team	76.7	Mendi Njonjo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The applicant doesn't provide sufficient information for classifying this as a project that targets marginalized or vulnerable groups.
Italy Team	76.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The three selected focus areas of this initiative does not yet allow for strategic intervention for vulnerable populations. If the national open data strategy can identify a particular data set or group of data, it may then utilize this model for vulnerable populations
Italy Team	76.7	Radu Puchiu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative makes a strong case in the potential of using data for a better decision making in the cases of flood areas of Italy, offering a number of risk indicators across the national territory (e.g. the government spending in public works for flood prevention, emergencies and damages) in the benefit of vulnerable population exposed to such risks.
Italy Team	76.7	Milena Nedeva	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative does not specifically target vulnerable groups.
Jordan Team	72.2	Don Don Parafina	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.5	There are strong statements that solid and widespread consultations had been done and the stakeholders made testimonies as to their involvement in the initiative. However, my website searches at mop.gov.jo did not yield any information (reference or news article) about the result of cited public vote on the nomination.
Jordan Team	72.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.2	The initiative was nominated through a process involving an open invitation to apply (the applicant writes that 21 applications were reviewed), and a public vote on a short list of three projects. As stated by the applicant, "this initiative does not involve civil society organizations, in the traditional sense". However, the initiative is built on local communities' participation.
Jordan Team	72.2	Florence Thibault	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.3	There is an good information about the process : open invitation to submit applications from government agencies and civil society, a multi-sectoral committee composed of government entities and civil society representation, public vote on a government website and a weighted score from the committee (60%) and the public voting (40%). We have no letter from students, teachers, supervisors... with their appreciation but we have an important study and evaluation.
Jordan Team	72.2	Ben Taylor	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	1.6	Not jointly implemented and no validation of claims by civil society.
Jordan Team	72.2	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.8	There is clear demonstration of consultation on selection of projects. There is evidence of partnership with community and other development partner. No CSO participation was identified. It focuses more on community group.
Jordan Team	72.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.1	This initiative is "innovative" in the sense that citizens and local communities don't seem to be usually involved in public policy making or evaluation. However, it does not really involve new technologies and seems to be lagging a bit behind best practices.
Jordan Team	72.2	Don Don Parafina	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	The use of participation as a strategy to reverse centralised service delivery was very clear in terms of the role of the educational development councils. What needs to be clarified are types of information made accessible to the council members and what platforms made the information accessible. Does the council members' access to information necessarily translate into a broader public access to the information as well?
Jordan Team	72.2	Florence Thibault	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.0	We can appreciate the open government approache given the country context (to improve the outcomes at the basic education system because the centralized approach did not match the actual needs of the schools and there are severe budgetary constraints). The initiative targets a large number of the population (85,000 teachers distributed over 3,650 public schools and all the students). The need is important. The feed back with more transparency for all is not clear (portal ? flyer ?....)
Jordan Team	72.2	Ben Taylor	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.8	Not a very innovative initiative, but appears to deliver significant public participation in education service governance.
Jordan Team	72.2	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.0	Does not articulate the open government approach but approach the issue via the community participation and inclusion of community in school management. Project allowed for transparency via community representation on the school committee. Though it could be improved through combining it with other method of engaging with the community through leveraging more students involvement.
Jordan Team	72.2	Don Don Parafina	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.4	There are signs that the initiative contributed to all four outcomes. The educational council is a good start to encourage broader participation, but it may not really be broad in the strict sense as it is only representative. The improvement in the public is evident in specific cited cases; it was demonstrated as an overall accomplishment.
Jordan Team	72.2	Ben Taylor	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	Giving opportunities for feedback on education services, some evidence of improvements to public services as a result.
Jordan Team	72.2	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.5	Has demonstrated some success in the community participation helping schools to raise funds and carry out some projects to improve schools but the baseline and results were not too clear.
Jordan Team	72.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.4	The initiative seems to have created a positive momentum in empowering citizens (more access to information + channels to monitor and oversee public policies), in improving public services (public education). Success stories presented by the applicant seem to validate this claim. Even though the applicant claims that the initiative affects a majority of the target population, the evidence is weak that a big proportion of the target population has access to services that have actually improved.
Jordan Team	72.2	Florence Thibault	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	We have several documents with indicators (a big study and evaluation) and we can appreciate how actors feel with the initiative. But, we don't have any information about quality of lessons, about performances, about the level of education... Then it's not easy to appreciate if the initiative has improved the quality of the public service. Nevertheless, the intiative is a good way to work positively together and to developpe transparency.
Jordan Team	72.2	Florence Thibault	SUSTAINABILITY	4.3	The initiative presents a durable model. Nevertheless, ve have no so much information about how we can appreciate the impact of the initiative on the students performances and we have no information about how the information about councils decision, data base information... can be consulted by the populaiton.
Jordan Team	72.2	Don Don Parafina	SUSTAINABILITY	3.5	There appears to be a trajectory for the eventual institutionalisation of the initiative. Seven years, however, had not been enough to work on the Finance Ministry to ensure annual allocation for its implementation. Insights on what's preventing the Ministry from doing that would be helpful. Also, there's no mention of increasing public demand for it or at least some public appreciation of the contributions of the development councils, which helps galvanize support for the effort.
Jordan Team	72.2	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	Demonstration of how project will be scaled up but as it is currently funded by donors, sustainability may be an issue. Stronger participation by parents and students may be needed to support sustainability of the project.
Jordan Team	72.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SUSTAINABILITY	3.5	The initiative is supported and funded by Government and International Organisations, including the World Bank. The next step is to extend the initiative to cover all public schools (that means +10% in comparison with the current situation). Government organisations have been working to institutionalise the initiative.
Jordan Team	72.2	Ben Taylor	SUSTAINABILITY	3.9	Initiative already operates at a wide scale, only a relatively small number of schools not yet included.
Jordan Team	72.2	Florence Thibault	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The project is for all the population of schools (teachers, supervisors, students...) and not only for a vulnerable population.
Jordan Team	72.2	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Project has worked to strengthen schools in remote areas. But more evidence is needed on how it supports marginalized people.
Jordan Team	72.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative also affects disadventaged areas in the country. The applicant claims that these areas gained financial support thanks to the project. Please note that the video shows that, in some of the meetings, men and women do not sit at the same side of the room. The local communities culture is probably responsible for this situation, in the sense that the success of the initiative might depend on respecting this custom.
Jordan Team	72.2	Ben Taylor	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative has a particular focus on remote marginalised areas, and some of its biggest reported achievements are for poorer groups of people.
Jordan Team	72.2	Don Don Parafina	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Specific tangible improvements in the education sector had been reported, but not very remarkable.
Latvia Team	66.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.2	The initiative was not nominated by a consultation but rather based on previous awards gained by the project.
Latvia Team	66.2	Tanvi Nagpal	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.3	Looks like the initiative was jointly designed and implemented with an ad agency and the government but the former is not a CSO!
Latvia Team	66.2	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.2	Application not consulted with CSOs, no validation and hence scored low.
Latvia Team	66.2	Gertrude Muguzi	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.2	There is no evidence of any local consultation beyond government in the nomination process. Validation of claims is made from a government institution and an award given to the initiative by an international body of business leaders. I would have expected more civil society validation from an initiative such as this one.
Latvia Team	66.2	Florence Thibault	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.8	To select the initiative, any consultation was organised. The project was selected because is part of an official long term initiative in the level of the Cabinet of the Ministers and because it was awarded in several contests. I think we can considere than an award and a video for all the population is a validation of claims but that's not perfect.
Latvia Team	66.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.9	The initiative is based on a smartphone application which is available to everyone and gives the ability to evaluate public services.
Latvia Team	66.2	Tanvi Nagpal	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	This is a large undertaking by the central government in an attempt to improve bureaucratic responsiveness and culture. It's unclear that service delivery has actually improved.
Latvia Team	66.2	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.6	Only technological innovation demonstrated but the case is unclear about the exact benefits and target beneficiaries.
Latvia Team	66.2	Florence Thibault	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	“Let’s Share the Burden!” is a programm for all the population and the need is clear and important : to find how to improve public administration that is to say how to reduce administrative burden and improve the quality of customer service with the analyses of the population. A mobile application was created to attempt this goal : it's an innovative open government approache.
Latvia Team	66.2	Gertrude Muguzi	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.2	An App that acts as an online public feedback mechanism is a good idea and the problem being addressed is clearly identified. It also has the potential to produce vast amounts of useful information on public opinion and citizen views. However, the initiative does not explain how this feedback is actually being used or whether and to what extent it si applied to systematically improve public services and the problems identified.
Latvia Team	66.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.6	The applicant claims that the initiative's reach and feedback is correct, in comparison with traditional citizen involvement in the country. It remains unclear, though, whether the Government implemented actual correctives to bureaucracy.
Latvia Team	66.2	Gertrude Muguzi	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.5	The initiative provides a platform in which Government seeks citizen feedback but questions such as how feedback is analysed and subsequently used to improve services. What evidence is there of using the information to resolve actual public service delivery problems? Whether any responses are provided to the public on the feedback received, even in aggregate form? etc. are not addressed at all.
Latvia Team	66.2	Florence Thibault	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.0	We have several indicators : so far mobile application has been downloaded close to 5000 times and more than 300 constructive citizen proposals and suggestions how to improve public administration have been received. That's not so much if we considere that all the population is concerned but that's interessant. According to me, it's important to see that the application also functions as database of public administration institutions (address, contact information, working hours, location in the map etc.) .
Latvia Team	66.2	Tanvi Nagpal	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	Unclear if there have been improvements in the services bout there is a feedback loop built into the application so that people can provide anonymous feedback about the service they received.
Latvia Team	66.2	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.3	No clear evidence of quality of public service. Limited feedback from citizens and no citizens participation in design and delivery. No mechanism for citizen monitoring. Need to restrategise the whole process for more results as per OGP norms.
Latvia Team	66.2	Gertrude Muguzi	SUSTAINABILITY	2.7	The initiative seems to be already institutionalized, although, my comments on question 4 also apply here.
Latvia Team	66.2	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	No clear road map just technological scalling up demonstrated. Risks and mitigation plan not demonstrated. Need to redesign the sustainability plan.
Latvia Team	66.2	Florence Thibault	SUSTAINABILITY	3.3	As if we can note that the project is a long-term and sustainable Initiative we have not so much informations about how this challenge will be managed. We have information only on the next step : "Thank you" for witch I'm not convinced. I can understand that is to implement and cultivate client oriented culture within public administration sector but I'm not sure is the best way to attempt this goal and I'm a little bit afraid about that (management of results, management of civil servants, other infomations that can contribute to the quotation...). We have no information about "how can I have a better participation in the futur and after several years ?".
Latvia Team	66.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	The applicant claims that he will continue the development of new promising features, such as individual evaluation, based on a positive approach. The initiative seems long-term and sustainable.
Latvia Team	66.2	Tanvi Nagpal	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	The site will be expanded to pair with a mobile application. It's meant to be expanded.
Latvia Team	66.2	Florence Thibault	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative concern all the population and no a vulnerable population especially
Latvia Team	66.2	Gertrude Muguzi	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no mention of vulnerable groups in the application.
Latvia Team	66.2	Tanvi Nagpal	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	No evidence provided of reaching minorities, vulnerable population.
Latvia Team	66.2	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no claim toward vulnerable population targetting.
Latvia Team	66.2	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Weak case for recognition. Needs more improvements following OGP norms.
Mexico Team	90.3	Tanvi Nagpal	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The initiative was started by an NGO and has been institutionalized through the local government.
Mexico Team	90.3	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Strong evidence of nomination and validation. Selection of case process commendable.
Mexico Team	90.3	Siapha Kamara	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	The stakeholder and especially the parents participation is mainstreamed through out the initiative
Mexico Team	90.3	Bernadette Leon	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	A high-level of consultation in the nomination - this was chosen after all partners in the OGP committee were asked to submit proposals. As for joint-implementation - this initiative has a civil society partner (Transparency International) and is implemented with private owners of day-care centres as well as the parents who are the users of the service. Contacts for the civil society partner is provided
Mexico Team	90.3	Ritva Reinikka	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.5	Provides compelling evidence on consulting CSOs when nominating this initiative. Jointly implemented and wide support from CSOs in terms of validation. Also a strong partnership with private entities.
Mexico Team	90.3	Bernadette Leon	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.5	The scope and potential impact of this initiative is huge, 34 000 parents have participated in 5 years as community-inspectors or monitors and this model of community monitoring using web-based reporting platforms to make findings visible have large potential for replication and use in other services-monitoring. This is an excellent example of using civic participation supported by technology to support more responsive service delivery.
Mexico Team	90.3	Ritva Reinikka	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.2	This initiative comes across very strong in terms of using civic participation to ensure public accountability. It is concrete and simple, and responds to a real need/demand, following the horrific fire in a public day-care center in 2009. The way the parent monitoring is designed is robust and systematic with random selection. The initiative is less "techie" than some other OGP applications but it does publish the results of the parent inspections on a public web site. It also uses technology to monitor indicators and ensure a faster response.
Mexico Team	90.3	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	It has the strength of innovation and result oriented. But it is unable to reach a larger population due to a web based tool. Mobile technology can be used to reach a larger population.
Mexico Team	90.3	Siapha Kamara	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.9	The openness of the local government authorities empowered the individual parent and CSOs to participate in developing strategies to strengthen the administrative infrsdtrcure of the Day Care Center
Mexico Team	90.3	Tanvi Nagpal	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.8	Uses parents as effective partners and makes them a part of the feedback loop to improve the safety of day care centers. Just not sure if the centers are used by all types of parents..Are they free?
Mexico Team	90.3	Siapha Kamara	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	The parents were mobilized to volunteer their services in monitoring and evaluating the day care centers for the children and this helped the local authorities to improve on the services to children.
Mexico Team	90.3	Bernadette Leon	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.8	Access to information on the performance of public service providers, citizen mechanisms to monitor services citizens ability to inform the design of programmes...all of these outcomes are achieved by this initiative: 34 000 parents have participated in 5 years, as community-monitors of daycare centres. The reporting of the monitoring findings on-line makes for quicker responding to problems and for transparency w.r.t to performance. To some extend this does set a new standard for citizen-government relationships, moving from passive recipients of services to active monitors.
Mexico Team	90.3	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.7	Target population still not clear though a number of monitoring visits and events conducted. Need to demonstrate beneficiary details and quality of service improved.
Mexico Team	90.3	Ritva Reinikka	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	5.0	This important initiative has run almost for 5 years which makes it easier to see its impact. There are clear indicators in terms of inspection visits, parent participation, and improvements in adherence to safety regulations by day-care centers. While there is no information on reduction in incidents, one assumes they have reduced.
Mexico Team	90.3	Tanvi Nagpal	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	Not sure if there is concrete evidence. Apparently there is a decline in the number of the day care centers which are not passing safety inspections.
Mexico Team	90.3	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	Need to further improve process by the use of more ICT tools like mobile technology and APPs to make the monitoring user friendly and reach more target population and the poor and most vulnerable.
Mexico Team	90.3	Tanvi Nagpal	SUSTAINABILITY	4.1	The partners understand that the main impediment may be to maintain public interest in the project. The issue is that its not clear that parents will continue to monitor the day cares year after year. So its not an issue of scale but of sustainability for the long term Of course, its completely possible that once the day cares put safety procedures into place they will stay improved.
Mexico Team	90.3	Ritva Reinikka	SUSTAINABILITY	4.7	The application makes a compelling case that the initiative has already been institutionalized. The application discusses challenges that it might face in terms of credibility and parents' participation. Its mitigation plan appears sound. The future plans include upgrading the technology, such as developing a mobile app, and developing a model to predict problems.
Mexico Team	90.3	Bernadette Leon	SUSTAINABILITY	4.7	There are indications that the initiative has been internalised into the regulations of this service, making it standard procedures now. There is also indication that scale up is underway - more and more daycare centres are being monitored and that this approach to collecting performance data and making it public has already been institutionalised. The risk of parent-fatigue is mentioned and it appears that, because of the visible positive results that this risk has been managed successfully.
Mexico Team	90.3	Siapha Kamara	SUSTAINABILITY	3.4	This promoters have outlined concrete activities towards institutionalizations and ways to overcome challenges .
Mexico Team	90.3	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Strong case for recognition and potentially replicable case. YES.
Mexico Team	90.3	Ritva Reinikka	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	While not directly related to any of the groups mentioned above, small children are surely very vulnerable in their day-care center if safety regulations are not adhered to. Hence, if interpreted that way, this initiative would qualify in my view.
Mexico Team	90.3	Siapha Kamara	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Children using public day care centers are usually from lower income families
Mexico Team	90.3	Bernadette Leon	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Service delivery outcomes for the most vulnerable, being children and mothers, are improved through this initiative. It was born out of a terrible tragedy where children died in a daycare centre fire - rather than government jumping in to commit to monitor better which it will not have the capacity to do well, it turned this tragedy into a innovative partnership between government and the parents, using technology and citizens as inspectors of services.
Mexico Team	90.3	Tanvi Nagpal	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative improves safety for infants and children in day care centers. So, the extent to which one considers all children vulnerable, the initiative targets them..
Netherlands Team	72.9	Virginia Pardo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Selection process was conducted through open call website within the framework of Open Government, together with a voting process. The initiative is endorsed and was presented by referring to Governance and Civil Society.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.0	Partnership with private entity is listed. The consultation and calling for nomination could be strengthened. It was difficult to know how many nomination was received and whether or not the selected project was the most competitive one.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Justine Dupuys	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.3	This initiative is jointly implemented and has a whole process of online selection opened to citizenship at both nomination and selection levels. the validation of claim is not so convincing
Netherlands Team	72.9	Ben Taylor	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.7	Implemented in partnership, submitted in partnership. Lack of a validation letter.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.6	While it is not part of the OGP action plan, it has the support of a private organization.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.5	While it is a digital platform to structure and organize debates to improve local services, it remains unclear results and practical impact.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Virginia Pardo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.9	The proposal present a tool for citizen participation to improve the perception of citizens about democracy, and close the gap with the state. It allows, in an innovative and collaborative way to strengthen the management and generation of ideas for local government Ultrech. Strengthens the pillars of transparency, collaboration and participation of the Open Government through a tool easy to use and accessible to citizens.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Justine Dupuys	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.4	By the mean of new technology, the initiative improves the exchange and debate between citizenship and government on public issues in order to design public policies. The platform tries to trigger the debate on social issues in order to co-elaborate solutions to social problems. The platform promotes information exchange, nevertheless it isn´t clear that this initiative permits access to more information and accountability and which kind of solutions are going to be implemented.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Ben Taylor	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.9	Reasonably compelling use of technology to increase public participation in policy making.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	The project is innovative, but could use some publicity to encourage more use. Has the potential to be a good source for debate on problem facing government. However, need to demonstrate a strong engagement plan on how to get people to participate on this online platform. Could have benefited from a discussion on how many percentage of the people are online and are using the platform.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.8	Lack detail and information on metrics and indicators to assess the results and impact of the proposed initiative.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Virginia Pardo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.6	Evidence of use by citizens is checked through the ideas incorporated in the website itself. Is not reflected in the proposal that guarantees a subsequent process management ideas from the government, in this case the local government, as well as implementations of the ideas raised.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.5	The initiative is at an early phase and does not have enough time to show its success. Perhaps in a few years we can see the success.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Ben Taylor	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.3	Still early, but engagement levels so far have been disappointing.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Justine Dupuys	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.0	The platform was launched recently so there is few evidence of its success.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Ben Taylor	SUSTAINABILITY	3.1	Need to address the challenge of increasing participation levels, but has clear potential for scaling up on a big scale.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Justine Dupuys	SUSTAINABILITY	4.4	this initiative is implemented at subnational governmental level and can be scaled-up by replicating the model in other local government or at national level.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SUSTAINABILITY	3.2	It seems sustainable, at least locally. The experience could be useful in other contexts and scale be applied to other local governments or public services.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SUSTAINABILITY	2.9	Did not address sustainability question. Assumption of sustainability and that online users are responsive.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Virginia Pardo	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	The proposal is well presented from the technological point of view, as an innovative tool for participation. It is not proven the sustainability of the process and methodology to ensure processing, commitment, and feedback of the organism to carry out the ideas.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	It is a good project from technology perspective however, can easily marginalized those who do not use internet and are not able to access it for one reason or another.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Ben Taylor	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	not applicable - target community is internet-connected people in a wealthy, democratic community.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative enhances a debate on improving public services and policies, involving citizens through the digital platform.
Netherlands Team	72.9	Virginia Pardo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Initiative does not apply directly to vulnerable populations or specific sectors of the population that need special attention
Netherlands Team	72.9	Justine Dupuys	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	however the platform tries to focus the debate on social problems, it is not clear that it will improve the service delivery access and outcomes for a vulnerable population.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tanvi Nagpal	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	There are a lot of letters of validation attached to this application. I am not sure how they were elicited. Its a bit unclear.
Philippines Team	83.7	Ritva Reinikka	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.3	The SGLG initiative is an extensive partnership between central and local governments, CSOs, businesses, and aid donors. The national OGP Steering Committee selected the nomination, a number of different partners validated the nomination, and it is also a joint application.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tim Hughes	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	The initiative was selected by the Philippine OGP Steering Committee, which includes CSOs, though it's unclear whether there was any consultation beyond those on the committee. The application is a joint application with a CSO and includes a number of very strong supporting statements. The initiative is jointly implemented with a range of partners.
Philippines Team	83.7	Radu Puchiu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	Strong evidence of consultation on the Philippine OGP Steering Committee, composed of 4 government agencies, and 5 networks from civil society and business. The joint apllication was also submitted following an online voting process.
Philippines Team	83.7	Siapha Kamara	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.8	Application, references and video documentations provides evidence of the OGP stakeholders ownership of this initiative.. All stakeholders were involved in the nomination processes of this initiative and implementation .
Philippines Team	83.7	Siapha Kamara	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.7	Through the incentive mechanisms the initiative is improving the performance of thousands of local government authorities in strategic areas , for example financial accountability . Even the private sector is adopting ideas from this initiative
Philippines Team	83.7	Tim Hughes	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.8	The initiative is extremely ambitious in aiming to address a range of important needs across 1,715 provincial, city and municipal governments, and presents evidence of improvements across a large proportion of these. The application makes a strong case for how the Seal has helped to make local government more open and transparent to citizens. It could have benefitted from more detail of how this enhanced openness has in turn contributed to improvements in outcomes in the six components of the Seal. The participatory approach to monitoring performance on this scale is a particularly noteworthy and laudable innovation.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tanvi Nagpal	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.0	The initiative appears to be one to improve transparency of all LGU accounts. It is attached to a central government scheme which associates grants with transparency at the local level. I am not sure that its targeted or that the increase in services offered at the LGU level are associated with transparency. They may just be the result of increased central government transfers.
Philippines Team	83.7	Ritva Reinikka	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.6	The Seal of Good Financial Housekeeping (SGFH) was the precursor to the Seal of Good Local Government (SGLG) which was introduced only last year. The SGFH -- which represents more of a "standard governance approach" with a focus on improving public financial management and governance in local governments and rewarding progress financially -- is now one of the six performance areas assessed under the SGLG. The SGFH has been firmly entrenched as a qualification requirement for several major programs that provide financial assistance to local governments and for local governments to access bank loans. The SGFH qualification rate for 2014 (for the minimum level) was around 80% and the incentive/penalty effects and overall credibility of the SGFH among local governments seems to be strong. This strong credibility of the SGFH seems to be carrying over to the SGLG which has added a range of service delivery areas to the program, i.e., disaster preparedness, social protection, business friendliness and competitiveness, peace and order, and environmental management. This approach is consistent with the experience that governance reforms alone do not necessarily improve services. However, the five selected areas seem to be a bit of an odd mix -- and surely represent an ambitious agenda. Incremental addition of services might work better. While the program is fundamentally about financial management and service delivery, a number of open government approaches are embedded in it. Examples of these are "full disclosure policy portal" where local government revenue and spending can be easily viewed by the public. The performance challenge fund grants are disclosed on a separate web site which also allows citizen feedback to be uploaded.
Philippines Team	83.7	Radu Puchiu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.9	This program seeks to provide incentives for local governments to provide or improve services delivered in the above mentioned areas. It gathers together a wide variety of stakeholders from governemnt agencies, chambers of commerce, NGOs, business entities. It targets the entire population of the country.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tanvi Nagpal	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.2	The website www.fdpp.dilg.gov.ph did not work for me. Also, while there are grand claims of all CSO cooperation, I am not sure how exactly CSOs are involved in improving services.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tim Hughes	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.9	The application presents evidence of the Seal supporting greater transparency of local government, promoting the rights of citizens (particularly vulnerable groups) and enabling civil society to monitor local government. Evidence is also presented of some significant improvements in the administration and provision of services. It is clear that the Seal is helping to transform expectations of local government services.
Philippines Team	83.7	Radu Puchiu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.3	More than two outcomes werre achieved. It sets a new relation between government and citizens through a new model of giving incentives for local governments to provide or improve services doubled with a participatory model for validation.
Philippines Team	83.7	Siapha Kamara	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	The high performance of local government in the six areas translated into large segment of the population being reached with improved services
Philippines Team	83.7	Ritva Reinikka	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	The SGLG induces improved local government performance across three major dimensions: public financial management, governance, and service delivery. The program addresses a wide range of concerns. It is possible that the SGLG may aspire to do too much. The incentive program in its early stages prioritized financial management/governance concerns and assumed that improvements to service delivery would follow. As this is not necessarily the case, the SGLG has broadened the focus to prioritize service delivery, although governance still remains at the core. The SGLG is an ambitious -- and recent -- escalation from the SGFH. It adds five new targets to the existing good financial housekeeping. It is common for incentive programs to extend and improve their designs over time, although good practices suggest that an incremental approach may be preferable. The application provides evidence on better citizen access to information on public spending and increased access to public services. There is also strong evidence that the precursor of this initiative has established itself as an effective tool to improve financial management of local governments and to provide them performance based financing. The expanded program is perhaps too new to assess results on the ground. There are a large number of indicators. It seems that the indicators are still at the initial stage of development. Best practices imply that measurement/verification of performance should be carried out by an independent entity. The application mentions that CSOs do some of the verification but elsewhere one gets the impression that the regional government evaluates local government performance.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tim Hughes	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	The application makes a strong case for how the Seal has become institutionalised, with a range of mechanisms supporting it (e.g. strong stakeholder engagement, a stable budget, and financial incentives to comply from external organisations). The application does not address any challenges, though the apparent strength of the model helps to mitigate this in part.
Philippines Team	83.7	Ritva Reinikka	SUSTAINABILITY	4.1	Given the credibility of the precursor, the Seal of Good Financial Housekeeping, this initiative has a strong foundation to build on. The partnership is extensive which will also enhance its sustainability. The application raises a few issues, however. While there is little information in the application, the indicator sets under each of the six performance areas of the SGLG seem to be primarily process-based and compliance-focused, rather than outcomes (or even outputs) based on local services. So it's difficult to predict the effect of the SGLG and "quality" of local government service delivery if an empirical assessment were to be done. The complexity of assessing a large number of indicators for every local government is also an issue. All in all, since being introduced in 2010, the SGFH seems poised to be institutionalized as a basic screening/compliance standard for local governments. The basic concept of the SGLG is strong and there’s a clear logic that local governments understand how it builds on the basic requirements of the SGFH. One expects the indicators to evolve over time to focus more on service delivery outcomes once data becomes available. Over time this program has much potential. The critical issue with the SGLG at this early stage (it was introduced only in 2014) is the credibility of the assessment – which will boil down to the regularity and timeliness of the disclosure of the results, the transparency of the assessment process, and the availability of the detailed assessment data so that the results can be validated by a third party.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tanvi Nagpal	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	No challenges are mentioned. It appears that the SEAL program is already institutionalized but its completely unclear how it has led to service improvements.
Philippines Team	83.7	Radu Puchiu	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	The model is durable and is planned to be scaled-up.
Philippines Team	83.7	Siapha Kamara	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	Strong OGP stakeholder ownership and benefits of this initiative will make it sustainable
Philippines Team	83.7	Siapha Kamara	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	indigenous people, , persons with disability and women are differently benefiting from the initiative
Philippines Team	83.7	Tanvi Nagpal	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Appears that the LGUs are now able to provide certain health and other services which they were not providing previously. Not sure if this is a result of the SEAL initiative or just an increase in local resources.
Philippines Team	83.7	Radu Puchiu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The projectl has a set of criteria under six components: (1) Financial Good Housekeeping; (2) Disaster Preparedness; (3) Social Protection, (4) Business Friendliness and Competitiveness; (5) Peace and Order; and (6) Environmental Management most of them focusing on vulnerable population.
Philippines Team	83.7	Ritva Reinikka	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The SGLG has five service areas among its six components. One of the service areas is social protection which encompasses a number of vulnerable groups: pregnant women, persons with disabilities, and indigenous peoples. While there is evidence of increased representation, some increase in access to services and increased participation in local government, given that the initiative is very recent (launched only last year), at this stage it is difficult to demonstrate that it successfully improved service delivery access and/or outcomes for the vulnerable groups.
Philippines Team	83.7	Tim Hughes	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The application and supporting statements make a strong case for the initiative having supported the rights and access to services of women, indigenous people and the disabled.
Romania Team	78.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	According to the applicant, "the selection process involved public voting and joint decisions of government and civil society representatives". Convincing validation of this claims is provided in the application.
Romania Team	78.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	Public voting to select a case is good initiative. But CSO consultation information insufficient.
Romania Team	78.8	Florence Thibault	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.6	The initiative was not selected especially for the Open Governement Awards. It was selected because it won the Romanian Open Government Partnership Award 2014 and because the selection process involved public voting and joint decisions of government and civil society representatives. We have several documents that attest to the veracity of the claims made in the application concerning the application. But we have not really information about what the population think about in application and how important is the initiative for cityzens.
Romania Team	78.8	Gertrude Muguzi	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	The general public was also given a chance to participate in the nomination process through a public voting mechanism. Validation of claims came from a civil society organisation and links from sources not directly in relation to the OGP awards which implies that the sources were unsollicited and therefore more convincing, although they were not in English so I could not understand what was said.
Romania Team	78.8	Bernadette Leon	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.5	This free mobile complaints application was nominated because it won the Romanian Open Government Partnership Award for ”The best app” at the end of 2014 and that award involved public voting by government and civil society representatives - hence very strong consultation. There is no partner agency
Romania Team	78.8	Gertrude Muguzi	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.2	The initiative used technology for transparency and public accountability directly. I particularly liked the fact that they are transparent about their feedback mechanisms and response times in relation to the information they receive. This will enable citizens to monitor the effectiveness of the initiative on an ongoing basis,
Romania Team	78.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	Civic participation only limited to lodging grievance. Unclear about target population like those don't have smart phone. Mobile application is an excellent idea.
Romania Team	78.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.5	The initiative makes an interesting use of new technologies and targets a city population. The need is clearly identified and an open government approach is totally appropriate to address them.
Romania Team	78.8	Bernadette Leon	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.5	The system is innovative in that it allows an open and real time platform for government-citizen interaction about service delivery challenges and allows for transparent monitoring of progress and of performance - aimed at boosting confidence in local public service operators. Potentially all city service users can use the platform.
Romania Team	78.8	Florence Thibault	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	Oradea City Report use open government approache in order to improve public services public : not only those directly provided by its own departments but including those provided by public and/or private outsourced operators. This application targets a large number of the population (around 196 000 cityzens) but the number of downloads from Google Play Store is 4882 in 7 months. That's probably good but it can be better. The need is clear : a better and more quickly answer from public services (roads, green areas, public illumination, sanitation, water, taxes...) and a system very simple and quickly for the population.
Romania Team	78.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.9	The initiative allows better access to information (who to contact when one wants to file a complaint) and establishes a C2G feedback channel. Government is able to respond complaints and to used data gathered through the application to improve public services. However, it remains unclear how much they actually improved.
Romania Team	78.8	Bernadette Leon	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.7	Yes, access to information for citizens is improved, citizen monitoring of government is improved, citizens can influence design of improvement services through their use of this system and citizens can complain easier and government can respond quicker. It appears that citizens do use the system increasingly which points to an improved relationship of trust between citizens and the city government
Romania Team	78.8	Gertrude Muguzi	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	Clear mechanisms are articulated for feedback from citizens and a transparent response mechanism from government.enables citizens to better monitor public accountability for the delivery of public infrastructure and services and their quality. The number of users and competitive response times give an indication that the initiative is affecting service quality in a positive way.
Romania Team	78.8	Florence Thibault	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.1	We can see that the application exists, that it people can use it very easily and we can appreciate which kind of notifications you can transmit to the municipality. But we can't appreciate if the quality of the public service has increase (or how) because we don't have any information about the level of indicators before (number of complaints received, average number of complaints per day, response time...). Furthemore, we don't know which part of all the complaints received by the municipality comes from this application or if the complaints have increased because it's very easy to send a message to the municipality.
Romania Team	78.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	Information about number cases resolved and efficiency of resolution of problems (e.g. time taken, easy process etc.) no mentioned. Citizens active participation in design and delivery of services unclear. No mechanism for social audit.
Romania Team	78.8	Gertrude Muguzi	SUSTAINABILITY	4.6	The risk of poor government response discouraging future usage is clearly articulates and the response of adding features on the app that would enable citizens to play more of a watchdog role and provide them with platforms for further participation in public decision-making is a convincing way to mitigate the risk under the circumstances. There is no mention of scaling up coverage further in the application although there is a clear pathway for scaling up functionality of the app.
Romania Team	78.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SUSTAINABILITY	3.8	No clear cut action plan for sustainability. No risk assessment and mitigation planning done.
Romania Team	78.8	Bernadette Leon	SUSTAINABILITY	3.5	Expanding the service is already being planned - to use the platform for sending alerts to citizens about city-related issues. This submission does not identify challenges and do not provide insights into how these challenges will be managed.
Romania Team	78.8	Florence Thibault	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	Oradea City Report lists activities to scale-up the initiative but it's no clear the way the municipality will take in order to have a special respon with this application and to convice a large part of the population to use it. They have no ambition in terms of part of the population that must use Oradea City Report or the part of complaints, or the quality of the respons. Is it only a new media or is there something better with this application ?
Romania Team	78.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SUSTAINABILITY	3.5	The applicant intends to continuously improve the initiative, for instance by creating G2C alerts on public services-related issues. However, the Government doesn't seem to intend a country-wide extension.
Romania Team	78.8	Gertrude Muguzi	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no mention of vulnerable groups in the applcation.
Romania Team	78.8	Mohamed Adnene Trojette	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative doesn't seem to aim at any specific vulnerable population.
Romania Team	78.8	Bernadette Leon	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Not explicitly - it is not clear that service delivery access and outcomes for vulnerable groups will improve but one can assume it will benefit all city residents.
Romania Team	78.8	Bibhu Prasad Sahu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Applicant can't convenience the exact plan of action though OGP norms are respected. Strong case of use of mobile technology but insufficiently demonstrated results, citizen monitoring and improved in quality of service delivery to the poor.
Romania Team	78.8	Florence Thibault	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	This application is for all the citizens of Oradea.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Maxine Tanya Hamada	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.8	The natural community around education and the need for open data for education is the foundation for this partnership and fuels the direction that Open Education Slovakia is taking.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Stefano Pizzicannella	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.6	The initiative does not show a sufficient consultation process. Validation of claims are convincing.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Mendi Njonjo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.1	The applicant provided sufficient evidence of partnering with other non-government organizations with quite high collaboration presented. The applicant has also partnered with a NGO to present the idea.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Marija Novkovic	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.6	The submission does not provide much credible evidence of meaningful consultations on the nomination process.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Milena Nedeva	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.4	There is evidence of the initiative being endorsed by civil society actors but the application does not provide information is a selection procedure was employed involving a choice of more than one nomination
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Maxine Tanya Hamada	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.7	The initiative is clearly focused on education and knows it target population both from data and content providers as well as data and content users. The need for open access to educational material is clear and the goal of enabling public access to publicly-funded research and educational materials is clear.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Marija Novkovic	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.0	The initiative aims to boost openness in the education sector but the problem definition does not scream urgency. The applicants should have made the submission a bit more tangible.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Mendi Njonjo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.3	The Open Education initiative make a compelling case of using open government approaches where it, among others, aims to "open up" education materials especially those sourced or developed using public funds.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Milena Nedeva	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.3	Education is clearly an area affecting a large number of people and the initiative clearly identifies the existing challenges and needs. It is not clear however what practical solutions are put in place to date to address the needs.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Stefano Pizzicannella	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.8	The initiative wants to use the open government approaches in a crucial sector of the educational services. Slovakis is in the fore front in this. The initiaive allows users of education and research activities to better access documents.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Milena Nedeva	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.6	According to the application this is still a work-in-progress and thus it is difficult to assess the actual outcomes at this stage.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Mendi Njonjo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.4	The applicant, through changing the default state of how education information is produced has the potential to change educational outcomes.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Marija Novkovic	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.7	There is more information on the international recognition the initiative attracted, as opposed to evidence on the outcome of the efforts in Slovakia proper.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Maxine Tanya Hamada	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.5	The trajectory of the initiative is clear. Whether there has been a change in the level of access or the quality of materials used for education has not yet been established. It will be good to see these in the coming months and years as the potential of this innovation is demonstrated
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Stefano Pizzicannella	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.2	There are not convincing signs that the initiative has reached outcomes, yet. But is putting the base for a possible change. The initiaive appears to be still in its strating phase
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Marija Novkovic	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	The plans to scale up and mitigate risks along the way are somewhat vague.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	The key interest in this initiative has been international - as the submission articulates. A broad support for this direction can be the sustaining driver. It would be also good to complement this international recognition with broad citizen and government support from within Slovakia. The Open Education Coalition sounds like a promising driver if and when it is formed.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Stefano Pizzicannella	SUSTAINABILITY	3.3	The initiative doesn't address challenges and threats. However, all the actorss involved in both civil society and government seem to be committed to go ahead with the implementation also considering that the initiative is in the OGP Action Plan.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Mendi Njonjo	SUSTAINABILITY	2.9	The applicant might be able to scale the initiative, but not enough information is provided on how this would be done. Promising that a development partner (OSF) is interested in funding this, and they've assigned a person in a Ministry to support this.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Milena Nedeva	SUSTAINABILITY	2.7	Somewhat insufficient evidence is given as to how the engagement of the relevant ministries will be ensured and how they will be motivated to consistently support the effort.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Mendi Njonjo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Doesn't present any evidence that marginalized persons are a specific and targeted population.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Stefano Pizzicannella	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The target population is general and not specific to vulnerable sectors.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The focus on access to education materials does not specifically target vulnerable populations. Later on though, this initiative may have the potential of serving vulnerable populations with specific access to Open Education Slovakia. The potential is there, it is still unarticulated or unexplored.
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Milena Nedeva	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no special focus on improving access to services for a vulnerable population
Slovak Republic Team	65.5	Marija Novkovic	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is very little mention of the vulnerable groups.
South Africa Team	66.0	Maxine Tanya Hamada	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.0	The initiative is a winner in a competitive process adjudicated by a selected panel. Implementation is mainly with private sector sponsors and involved teachers and schools from challenged areas
South Africa Team	66.0	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.8	Could have provided more information on how many projects submitted and how many selected. As it is, we have no way of knowing how competitive is this project compared with others. Could have provided more evidence of partnership.
South Africa Team	66.0	Don Don Parafina	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.0	The selection was decided based on the result of an awards programme organised by a government agency. This cannot be considered equivalent to a consultation. Partnerships were mostly for sponsorship; few indications that engagement on design and implementation with monitoring and evaluation happened.
South Africa Team	66.0	Mendi Njonjo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.5	Applicant provides evidence that this was a collaborative nomination process through the “Annual Public Sector Innovation Awards” however, there is not much information provided on the openness of the process. The nomination is a joint application between Government- the CPSI, which sits in the Ministry of Public Service and Administration, and a CSO, the Ligron e-Learning group so proof of NGO-Government implementation is provided. Project has in the past been supported by a mix of Public, Private Sector, and Civil society organizations including public broadcasting corporations, private sector (mining companies); and foundations/ trusts. Not much information provided on how inclusive the design of the project was. While the project was started by three schools, the project doesn’t state how much collaboration went into the design of this project by entities involved.
South Africa Team	66.0	Milena Nedeva	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	The application contains sufficient information about the consultation process. A specific consultation format is provided - Annual Public Sector Innovation Awards Programme.
South Africa Team	66.0	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.7	Is a good project that seeks to address the shortage of teachers in math and science. More could have been said about how this helps to improve governance. It appears to address a specific problem, but lacks the wider impact on governance.
South Africa Team	66.0	Don Don Parafina	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.6	The initiative appears to be strong on the provision of infrastructure for learning. It is very innovative relative to the local setting, but it needs to articulate clearly the civic spirit of participation, sharing of information and accountability in the project to align with OGP. The students and teachers are clearly the project beneficiaries, but it seems to have stopped there.
South Africa Team	66.0	Maxine Tanya Hamada	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.0	The focus of the initiative is on math and science education in underserved schools. The leverage of technology is clearly innovative. It is not yet so apparent if this constitutes an open government initiative or a technology innovation.
South Africa Team	66.0	Milena Nedeva	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.7	The initiative is context-specific and provides working, practical, innovative solution to a clearly identified problem.
South Africa Team	66.0	Mendi Njonjo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.0	The initiative is a very clear and targeted programme where it provides a solution to an identified educational problem by improving pedagogical standards through transmission of math and science lessons and products (e.g exam papers) via video conferencing and desktop sharing. While this provides a technological fix to an identified problem, it does not provide evidence or information on how this initiative actually seeks to improve the underlying public service delivery pathologies that prevent the provision of good science/ math teaching in the first place.
South Africa Team	66.0	Maxine Tanya Hamada	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.2	The focus on specific school networks and clusters makes the initiative able to measure its impact on passing and completion scores. It will be good to see if this innovation will impact on broader math and science passing rates as well as state policy and access to education in South Africa
South Africa Team	66.0	Milena Nedeva	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	There is ample evidence, including statistical data, that the initiative achieved all its outcomes and evolved into a reliable service expanding the access and improving the quality of school education.
South Africa Team	66.0	Mendi Njonjo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	The project has demonstrated that video conferencing and provision of e-learning modules can improve grades and teachers' skills. However, the application does not provide evidence that the educational system itself has undergone changes in terms of its ability to provide improved public service.
South Africa Team	66.0	Don Don Parafina	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.0	There had been good improvements in the education services through the technology, which also provided means to check the process of delivery. However, the mechanisms to facilitate participation through information provision and feedbacking, must be sharpened. It's somewhat a case of an over-attribution of an outcome to the use of technology. Because of the technology, relevant information and participation were also assumed to have been present as well.
South Africa Team	66.0	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	Results are shown but not a wide enough impact. Benefited a selected group who access the online class. Some indication of teachers improving their learning along with their students. However, the larger issue of addressing the needs of improving the system of education was not addressed.
South Africa Team	66.0	Don Don Parafina	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	The continuity of the project since 2008 shows practical reasons that it is getting sustained. However, its long experience should have surfaced serious issues of policy support, funding and other technical/operational requirements.
South Africa Team	66.0	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SUSTAINABILITY	3.1	The model for innovation is there, the out-reach to private sponsors is presented as a solution to the sustainability costs. It would be good to see deeper state support and adoption of this innovation so as to institutionalize the practice
South Africa Team	66.0	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	Funding sustainability is a problem as the project currently fund raises and find partners to run its project. Need to address frequent electricity outages as well.
South Africa Team	66.0	Mendi Njonjo	SUSTAINABILITY	2.9	The project shows commitment to institutionalizing the initiative in the four pilot cases. However, the project does not provide enough information on how it plans to change the public service delivery systemic issues or challenges that this project seeks to address.
South Africa Team	66.0	Milena Nedeva	SUSTAINABILITY	4.3	As a pilot project in 5 schools which has proven its efficiency and effectiveness the initiative holds promise of becoming a nation-wide effort. Additional information is needed on the specific scaling-up steps to be taken in the future.
South Africa Team	66.0	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The scale at which the initiative is implemented shows a potential if scaled up to broader vulnerable schools and populations. It will be good to see this in the scaling up of the initiative
South Africa Team	66.0	Don Don Parafina	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	It has provided an effective learning platform for students and teachers in rural areas and under performing schools.
South Africa Team	66.0	Mendi Njonjo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	This project is potentially a good illustration of innovations in education, but is not a compelling example of innovation in public service delivery.
South Africa Team	66.0	Milena Nedeva	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative is being implemented in remote and under-performing schools and hence has a focus on disadvantaged population groups.
South Africa Team	66.0	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Innovative ways to reach remote areas that are in need to expertise to teach math and science. Project has element of inclusion.
South Korea Team	85.4	Don Don Parafina	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.9	Partners from the consumer group and mobile internet business association were clearly identified and they showed appreciation of the initiative. The former described how consumers directly used the application and the latter was involved in its evaluation.
South Korea Team	85.4	Maxine Tanya Hamada	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	2.1	It is unfortunate that the initiative was not jointly nominated. The partnerships are there and clearly articulated in the submission.
South Korea Team	85.4	Milena Nedeva	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	A nomination consultation process took place. There is however no information on the exact procedure, the number of stakeholders involved and the number of nominations received as well as on the actual selection process.
South Korea Team	85.4	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.0	Some partnering with community/users via their online feedback. But no CSO group identified as it is a government initiative.
South Korea Team	85.4	Ritva Reinikka	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.5	While the application does not describe a very participatory nomination process, the initiative comes across highly participatory in its implementation, including government, the private sector, consumer groups, health care groups and private citizens. Using senior citizens as test users is a smart move as they are usually the least familiar with "techie" solutions -- and are likely to need health services the most. Voice activation features are specifically meant for them. The validation letters come across strong.
South Korea Team	85.4	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	The feedback mechanism from the users are important component that is innovative in this project. Additionally, the government has demonstrated a responsiveness to the users as the program is always seeking to improve and increase its usability.
South Korea Team	85.4	Don Don Parafina	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	It's a perfect example of appropriate and optimal use of mobile phone app to enhance transparency and effectiveness in public service.
South Korea Team	85.4	Maxine Tanya Hamada	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.9	Access to health information to empower citizen access and choice is clearly presented and demonstrated by the initiative. The challenge of simplifying a vast database of information so that an ordinary citizen can know the services nearby and the cost comparison is addressed by the model.
South Korea Team	85.4	Ritva Reinikka	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	3.6	The initiative has public access to health information as its core, in an easy way and real time. While the application was not very explicit on the two-way nature of this health information mobile app, this is what the mobile business representative emphasized in the endorsements. Another strong feature of the initiative is technology for transparency and public service. A need was clearly identified in the application.
South Korea Team	85.4	Milena Nedeva	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.7	The initiative is highly innovative and fits perfectly the country context. It provides a practical technological response to a clearly identified need by translating open government data into an easy-to-use service.
South Korea Team	85.4	Maxine Tanya Hamada	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.4	The initiative addresses the indicators of access, feedback and response. It would be good to know in the coming months or years if the level of utilization of medical services has been improved, if service providers have levelled the costs of their services according to demand and if the ability to choose has actually demonstrated a change in medical service delivery.
South Korea Team	85.4	Don Don Parafina	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.8	Outcomes were documented with sufficient inputs from the users' side.
South Korea Team	85.4	Milena Nedeva	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	The initiative clearly results in a better service for a larger number of people and promotes a new type of interaction between government and the users of government services which is fast, data-based and constantly improving.
South Korea Team	85.4	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.0	The support of results would have been stronger if there were some input from the users. The 2 letters provided are from partner organizations. Video inclusion provided instruction. Need user feedback to strengthen result reporting.
South Korea Team	85.4	Ritva Reinikka	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.1	The app is impressive. The application reports client satisfaction surveys results which indicate high satisfaction with the information provided. 67% of those interviewed used the app to check hospital fees before choosing a facility. This indicated strong credibility of the app as it was initially fraud by medical profession that got the initiative going. There is no outcome evidence though about, say, lower health spending, or health related indicators.
South Korea Team	85.4	Milena Nedeva	SUSTAINABILITY	4.7	Special attention is paid to involving regional and municipal authorities and a variety of other stakeholders in order to address the challenges and risks identified and establish a durable mechanism for health service provision.
South Korea Team	85.4	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SUSTAINABILITY	4.4	Excellent sustainability as it is a government led and citizen's request and feedback mechanism.
South Korea Team	85.4	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	The particular attention to the challenges of making the technology even more inclusive with speech assisted interface is a good example of addressing the challenges of access. The sustainability of this innovation may also depend on the ability of this engagement to show a change in actual service delivery quality and quantity
South Korea Team	85.4	Don Don Parafina	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	HIRA as proponent of the initiative appears to be in the best position to sustain the initiative, providing institutional and technical support, bureaucratic command, and financing. It's also engaging the target public leading to broader acceptability and ownership of the mobile application.
South Korea Team	85.4	Ritva Reinikka	SUSTAINABILITY	4.3	The application provides a solid analysis of challenges and convincing mitigation strategy.
South Korea Team	85.4	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative has a focus on senior citizens access to the nearest and most cost-efficient services. Given challenges of mobility and other impairments, this would be a very useful tool for them
South Korea Team	85.4	Don Don Parafina	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The initiative has mentioned users from vulnerable groups, especially the elderly, but there was no mention a group of people with low or no access to mobile could also be serviced by the application.
South Korea Team	85.4	Ritva Reinikka	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The use of senior citizens as testers and providing e.g., voice activation them in mind qualifies this initiative for promoting inclusive development as defined above.
South Korea Team	85.4	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The project addressed the need of the elderly and supported by university students. It has inclusion of both the young and the old. A discussion of internet penetration and smart phone apps use would have helped to strengthen the argument for using digital approach to addressing people's medical needs.
South Korea Team	85.4	Milena Nedeva	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Special efforts are made as part of the initiative to involve disabled and elderly people in service development and to encourage them to use the service.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Virginia Pardo	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.6	The selection was canalized in the framework of Open Government group and their representatives. Not open to the general process is conducted. The initiative is developed and produced exclusively by the government, but has support of Soc. Civil.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Justine Dupuys	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.7	according to the application, there is evidence of a large non governmental participation in the whole process of nominating, validating and jointly implementing the initiative.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Don Don Parafina	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.5	The OGP group (people involved in implementing OGP action plan) was the platform used to consult partners about the nomination. Consultation was done through email and the decision was made by the committee, which is different from the OGP group. A more deliberate process of reaching a broader consensus could make the selection more credible.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.6	Solicitation of projects were demonstrated however, a stronger description of how this project was selected would have strengthen the proposal.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Ben Taylor	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Jointly implemented, consulted in nomination, strong validation
Tunisia Team	79.8	Justine Dupuys	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	The platform objective is to transparent and facilitate all the procurement process in Tunisia at the national level. This platform provides information through the use of modern technology and facilitates the process for suppliers. It also permits the citizens to access relevant and control the process. However, it is not clear that the citizen can monitor this process with success. The only way is to ask for more information emailing to a public officer.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Don Don Parafina	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	Opening up procurement information and process to the public is always a laudable effort as it is risky. Need to supply more info on the extent of reach of the system, how friendly it is to various types of users, and how it's encouraging competition.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Ben Taylor	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	Ambitious goals, innovative in the context. Unclear how wide the system is applied - is it optional / compulsory / in which situations?
Tunisia Team	79.8	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	Good demonstration of the need for the project. Not a new method to use e-procurement but it is a good step taken by the government in order to bring about more transparency and accessibility to more groups.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Virginia Pardo	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.1	The proposal presents a transparent technology solution for the management of state purchases. It is part of a solution to improve services directly to public purchasers and Suppliers alone. Strengthens the pillars of transparency and improved public management, although it is a pioneer in the region, is not seen as a highly innovative solution for the proposed theme.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.2	Early phase of the project yet and not strong demonstration of results. Perhaps allowing a few years to operate would help create more results for the project. Should consider resubmitting after a few years.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Ben Taylor	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	Excellent means for citizens to monitor procurement decisions.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Virginia Pardo	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.9	It is detailed in the proposed number of data use and access by users of the tool, as well as trained staff. No evidence of indicators of satisfaction, improved perception of the users, in order to check the social impact of the solution is shown. Unable to access the Web application to verify functionality, usability and content quality.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Don Don Parafina	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	Access to information is definitely enhanced, but there is no definite demonstration yet that it has been utilised by the broader public or the civil society. Such demonstration will indicate how useful and usable are the information and how friendly the system is.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Justine Dupuys	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	the platform is a very good effort to improve e-government and to transparent the procurement process. This platform has been improved in various public institutions at national level and can be scaled-up. It makes the process easier for suppliers and the citizen can access to a lot of information online. there is contract that have been signed by government after this new and transparent process but there is no clear and specific indicators of the success of this platform in term of fighting corruption.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Justine Dupuys	SUSTAINABILITY	4.4	The government launched this initiative in 2013 and is now replicating the experience in different institutions.This model can be scaled up and replicate. there is a list of activities the government plan to do.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Don Don Parafina	SUSTAINABILITY	4.6	"Generalising" and popularising the practice are necessary steps to institutionalise the initiative as these allow the implementers to manage both internal and external influences.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SUSTAINABILITY	2.9	Good potential for sustainability, provided the communications plan for publicity of the system and the training on its use is to be continued.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Ben Taylor	SUSTAINABILITY	4.2	Moves towards scaling up already in place. Unclear whether any changes to the legal and/or regulatory environment are also needed to fully embed the initiative. Also, no mention of any links with the international Open Contracting Partnership - which would help with sustainability.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Virginia Pardo	SUSTAINABILITY	3.0	The proposal is presented from a technological point of view, as a tool to improve transparency and public procurement. It not reflected in the proposal process and methodology to ensure a substantial improvement of the process, users feedback, to ensure real impact on transparency and accountability.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Don Don Parafina	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The procurement process discussed here pertained to contracting only and did not touch on implementation. It may have effect on service delivery but it can be explicitly explained only through the processes related to contract implementation.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Can potentially benefit more people as internet usability and understanding of the e-procurement platform increases.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Virginia Pardo	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Initiative does not apply directly to vulnerable populations or specific sectors of the population that need special attention.
Tunisia Team	79.8	Justine Dupuys	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	there is no direct improvement for vulnerable population
Tunisia Team	79.8	Ben Taylor	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Initiative not specifically targeted at a particular poor or vulnerable group.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Well documented process of selection and demonstrated supporting evidence of partnering with other organizations.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Don Don Parafina	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.9	The process of nomination was consultative and the implementation of the initiative was a joint effort.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	The open call for nominations enabled stakeholders to articulate their initiatives. Having a set of criteria to select and shortlist the entries makes it objective - it would be good to know what the criteria was. The partnership extends beyond the implementing institutions and includes the neighborhood groups and citizens who have become part of the emerging practice
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Siapha Kamara	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	There is sufficient evidence of consultation and the reference confirm working with other agencies.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Milena Nedeva	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Detailed description was provided of the consultation process for the nomination of the initiative. A selection procedure was put in place based on clear rules and criteria.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	Innovative project that brings in civic participation and revitalize the participation of people in a government process. Inclusion of people and empowering them to be the planner, with government workers as advisers in the process is an excellent way to turn the process around. Giving more say to community on how they would like to see their community grow and progress.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Siapha Kamara	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.2	This initiative emphasis civil participation and increasing citizen access to information
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.9	Bringing back planning to the citizens in their neighborhoods is a good example of open government. Giving these prepared plans a space and influence on government policy is commendable. The percentage of participation is a good indicator. It will be good to know if the development and outcomes will be influenced by the bottom-up approach
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Don Don Parafina	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.6	Aside from commentaries on draft plans, expert guidance and the referendums, I would have wanted to hear about the type of information that were publicised to enable good planning.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Milena Nedeva	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.6	A new process which significantly changes the way in which neighborhood planning takes place in the UK was instituted practically affecting all citizens and addressing a clearly identified need.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	Access to decision-making is clear and measured by levels of participation. The potential as a feedback mechanism is present. It would be good to see if service delivery of the population's identified priority needs has changed as a result of the neighborhood planning model.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Siapha Kamara	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.4	Provides evidence of impacting on two outcomes and is contributing to improved service delivery
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	5.0	Has demonstrated the improved participation of the people in the process as a result of trust increasing in the government. Clear narrative outlining the evidence of success.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Milena Nedeva	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	Reliable evidence, examples and statistical data, is provided that the initiative achieved its goal of establishing a participatory neighborhood planning process which has become the new standard of government-citizen relations on the issue.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Don Don Parafina	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	In general, all indicators were met, but access to more information would be desirable to substantiate planning. This entails need for means to enable understanding of available information.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Don Don Parafina	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	Need more information on the source of financing of the initiative and the assurance on capacity development. Grants are not known to be a reliable source of financing and capacity development is a complex intervention.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Milena Nedeva	SUSTAINABILITY	4.7	Legislative changes were made as a guarantee that the new approach will be sustainable and credible for the participant. The financial mechanism put in place further reinforces the durability of the initiative.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SUSTAINABILITY	4.9	It would be even better to see how this can be institutionalized with state support or incorporated into the regular planning of the UK system as a whole. As it is, it is a powerful innovation that complements existing state plans.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Siapha Kamara	SUSTAINABILITY	3.4	There are clear activity plan to institutionalization of the initiative and measures to overcome challenges
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	Has potential to be sustain as more people are involved and feeling empowered. Government support and advice coupled with empowered community is a strong combination for success. Has potential to scale up.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Haidy Ear-Dupuy	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Demonstrated increased in citizen's participation. More community participation and hence building inclusion via empowering of community members. Addressing affordable housing, benefiting poorer members of community.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Maxine Tanya Hamada	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	As presently implemented, it is not targeted for vulnerable populations but over time it has the potential especially at the level of inclusivity in neighborhoods
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Milena Nedeva	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no special focus on improving service delivery for disadvantaged groups.
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Siapha Kamara	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	Even thought the initiative emphasis community participation but it has no explicit targeting mechanism for the vulnerable groups
United Kingdom Team	90.7	Don Don Parafina	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Planning needs to be linked to implementation to show actual improvement in service delivery. No clear linking is demonstrated in the initiative.
United States Team	85.5	Bernadette Leon	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.4	It appears that the initiative was nominated by the OPGP working committee so some consultation did take place. The support letters do provide a strong basis to validate support for this initiative - but the support letters are from research institutions who study the initiative but who are not partners in implementing or using the service. It is said that, during the design process, NGOs who work in the digital area were consulted.
United States Team	85.5	Ritva Reinikka	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.5	Federal Government is partnering with a large number of cities (local governments) that are implementing the Open311 initiative. Open source apps have been/are being developed by CSOs, their coalitions and even the general public for various Open311 interfaces. Several large US foundations provide funding for the initiative. Researchers are actively involved in assessing impact. Gov. consulted CSOs through in-person Open Government Working Group on the submission. Several experts inside and outside government were also consulted. Validation is based on several relevant expert views, including solid empirical evidence produced on the initiative. One major transparency CSO (Sunlight Foundation) also endorses it.
United States Team	85.5	Tiago Peixoto	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.9	Shows strong evidence in consulting nomination and it is a truly collaborative effort.
United States Team	85.5	Radu Puchiu	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.6	The applicant showed strong evidence of consulting with experts on the subject from inside and outside of government, through various ways of interaction (in-person Open Government Working Group meeting, the online U.S. Open Government Discussion Group, and outreach to members of the public.)
United States Team	85.5	Siapha Kamara	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.4	The application , references and video confirmed the section process was a joint effort of the OGP stakeholders including civil society
United States Team	85.5	Bernadette Leon	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	2.8	The Open311 ecosystem is innovative, not only because of its current use by US cities but because it provides such an open and flexible platform on which cities and governments can design different types of engagements forums with citizens and between citizens. As such it responds to a need for more modern engagement approaches and can potentially target a large population although in this submission it is not clear what the user size is.
United States Team	85.5	Siapha Kamara	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.8	This is an innovative approach employing different open government approaches to get citizens and government to work simultaneously on diverse issues at different levels-state, city and community
United States Team	85.5	Radu Puchiu	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.8	The initiative shows a innovative participatory way for governments to deliver services to citizens. It also provides a platform to build community through collective problem solving.
United States Team	85.5	Ritva Reinikka	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.4	The initiative, which comes across as a strong multi-faceted partnership, uses practically all open government approaches. First, its essence is making use of the most modern technology for transparency in government. Second, public accountability is at the heart of Open311 as each submission (complaint) by the public and the response to it by local government are publicly available. Response scores are also calculated by city and available on the web. Third, civic participation is another key element as it is the public that submits the cases to local governments/cities, while CSOs and others have developed/are developing the platforms/interfaces. Fourth, all this results in a massive increase in access to information and openness in addressing problems in service delivery. On the negative, it takes time before the web sites and apps become common knowledge -- and there might be an overload of information.
United States Team	85.5	Tiago Peixoto	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	Very compelling case on how to use technology to improve access to service delivery.
United States Team	85.5	Siapha Kamara	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.1	This is an effective citizen feedback mechanism but creates opportunities for citizen government engagement to address specific issues
United States Team	85.5	Radu Puchiu	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.5	More than two outcomes were reached. It is clearly presented and documented the impact of the initiative in terms of improving the service delivery through civic participation.
United States Team	85.5	Ritva Reinikka	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	3.7	The application lists real-time citizen monitoring, new ways for cities to interact, etc. as objectives. These represent more the means rather than the ends, which would be increase in access to and improvement in the quality of services. In a similar vain, top academic institutions have produced solid evidence on the initiative, but less so on results. One study showed that attitudes towards government had improved -- but it did not say anything about actual results. Another examined which groups were more likely to use Open311. These studies provide relevant and high-quality information but at the same time raise a question: are these factors reflected in outputs and outcomes? How much is Open311 improving service delivery? Or, is it still too early to say? A convincing piece of evidence comes from San Francisco where Open311 cases now account 25% of the city's service requests. Many people know the old 311 phone number but I am not sure how well known Open311 is.
United States Team	85.5	Tiago Peixoto	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	5.0	All of the outcomes are met, and the publicization of public complaints sets new standards for the relationship between government and citizens.
United States Team	85.5	Bernadette Leon	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	2.8	I feel that the information provided is limited, making it difficult to assess real outcome and widened access. It is clear that more and more cities are using the platform so we can assume wider access to more responsive complaints systems for citizens - but insufficient information in this application.
United States Team	85.5	Tiago Peixoto	SUSTAINABILITY	4.9	The model is durable as it is embedded into governments IT systems and follows a decentralized patter of co-production that ensures sustainability.
United States Team	85.5	Siapha Kamara	SUSTAINABILITY	4.7	This initiative provides evidence of institutionalization of the model in different economic and technology contexts- developed and developing countires
United States Team	85.5	Ritva Reinikka	SUSTAINABILITY	4.1	The application outlines a path for extension domestically and internationally. The initiative appears sustainable given how many US cities are already part of it -- and e-government will no doubt expand everywhere in the world over time. The application does not list any challenges, however. One wonders: will this be the model the general public adopts? Will it increase access to and improve the quality of services? How does one know? Will the tech partners continue their efforts. One of the web sites mentioned in the application was already discontinued. Maybe it fulfilled its tasks or others took over?
United States Team	85.5	Bernadette Leon	SUSTAINABILITY	3.6	There is no clear description of how to scale up the initiative or how challenges will be managed BUT because of the flexibility of the platform the scale-up happens on its own as the platform is constantly being used and adapted within USA and also internationally.
United States Team	85.5	Radu Puchiu	SUSTAINABILITY	4.5	The initiative is clearly a model to be scaled-up. It helped foster sharing and reuse of tools in other cities at international level by sharing its open source system.
United States Team	85.5	Bernadette Leon	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative does not specifically target improved service delivery outcomes for vulnerable groups.
United States Team	85.5	Siapha Kamara	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is no evidence of the initiative being used to reach or improve services for the most marginalized but it is possible for example a person with disability can use mobile phone to call 311
United States Team	85.5	Ritva Reinikka	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	This initiative is aimed at the general public. One of the studies mentioned in the application found that poorer people may not use the service as much as better-off do. At the same time, the effort/cost required to contact government has been made small. If the counterfactual is the old system, Open311 may turn out to be quite inclusive.
United States Team	85.5	Tiago Peixoto	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	Yes, this is one of the few cases where there is evidence that disadvantaged groups are using the services.
United States Team	85.5	Radu Puchiu	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	The application cited a study published in the Public Administration Review showing that "lower-income residents as well as young, college-aged individuals were more likely to use the Open311-enabled smartphone app than the traditional phone number or website." Also, due to the possibility to reuse the open platform, other organizations implemented similar project in other countries like Mozambique.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tania Sanchez	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	3.9	This is a joint application of a jointly implemented initiative.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	Se trata de una iniciativa incluida como compromiso en el plan de acción OGP de Uruguay. Cuenta con el aval y apoyo de OSC, y su postulación a este premio fue el resultado de un proceso de deliberación del Grupo de Gobierno Abierto que lidera y conduce el proceso en Uruguay.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tiago Peixoto	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The initiative provides compelling evidence of consultation for nomination as well as shows strong evidence of GOV / CSO partnership with regard to its implementation.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Florence Thibault	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	5.0	The civil society DATA uruguay and the uruguayen governement (AGESIC and the Ministry of Public Health) have worked together on this initiative : "A tu servicio". As we can see on the website of DATA, several people that work for this organization come from civil society and it seems that everybody can join them. The partnership between DATA Uruguay, the Ministry of Public Health and AGESIC was publicly presented in a joint press conference, as were the results and the tool. For the Open governement Award the selection was limited : three initiative were proposed. We can see the database on http://atuservicio.uy/ with several indicators.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Justine Dupuys	CREDIBILITY OF PARTNERSHIPS	4.8	the initiative is a joint participation and the nomination and selection evidence the partnering with other non-government organization. One of the validation of claims is made by Data Uruguay which is also a partner of the project
Uruguay Team	95.0	Florence Thibault	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	http://atuservicio.uy/ is the result of the partnership between the Ministry of Public Health and a Civil Society Organization with open data experience. This initiative targets an ambitious number of the population : around 1.5 million people eligible to switch health care providers (in February 2014). It's responding to a real need : drastically increase access to the key performance indicators of 100% of the health care providers in Uruguay in order to counterbalanced the marketing efforts of the health care providers.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	El proyecto se vincula a entregar información oportuna y relevante en el ámbito de la salud (como eje sectorial preferente): bases de datos e indicadores de salud pública. Contribuye a mejorar la transparencia por la vía de espacios que promueven el acceso a información pública relevante (datos oficiales, fiables y actualizados de los servicios de salud) y la la posibilidad de toma de decisiones informada y responsable por parte de ciudadanos/usuarios del proyecto.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tiago Peixoto	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	The initiative presents a compelling case in terms of improving service delivery, it presents actionable information to the citizens, providing one of the best examples of how technology can leverage "targeted transparency".
Uruguay Team	95.0	Justine Dupuys	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	5.0	this is a very interesting platform that integrates all the elements of an open government project: access to infomation, citizen participation (the idea was firs implemented by civil society), new technology and open data and finally, indirectly this initiative can encourage an improvement of health services.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tania Sanchez	STRENGTH AND INNOVATION IN OPEN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES	4.5	Te initiative is about guaranteeing quality information through an electronic platform for informed choices on health services.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Justine Dupuys	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	5.0	The outcomes are the access to useful information focused on health services, the debate provoked by this new approach and, finally, this initiative created also incentives to improve health services. They also provide information of numbers of visits on the platform contrary to the others initiative i have to evaluate.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tania Sanchez	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.4	Up to now, the initiative is mainly about the quality of data on health services. Evidence on how this information is being consulted is conclusive. It is mentioned that in later phases, they plan to build in ways in which users will be able to shape the public service delivery.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.8	Entrega detalles de base sobre resultados e impacto alcanzado, así como también sobre las potencialidades de la herramienta creada y sus alcances para mejorar los servicios de salud en Uruguay. Además, establece un marco de referencia para desarrollar nuevos estándares en acceso a información pública del sector salud que contribuyen a mejorar la transparencia y la mejora de los servicios de cara a los ciudadanos y sus necesidades.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Florence Thibault	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	5.0	The authors explained that ATuServicio.uy increased acces to indicators by 6.800% (from 500 downlados in 2013 to 34,092 sessions in the application from February to April 2015). The initiative was shared by hundreds of citizens on Facebook and Twitter, and dozens articles mentioned it. Furthermore, this project originated a broader debate about the quality of the data collected by the Ministry of Public Health, in which local politicians, press authorities and government participated.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tiago Peixoto	EVIDENCE OF RESULTS	4.6	The initiative have clear indicators to prove that one of the outcomes (better access to info) was met, there is however less evidence on whether this has improved service delivery or not.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	Según los antecedentes presentados, la iniciativa no solo es sustentable desde su fase de diseño sino que además cuenta con la complSeicidad y trabajo conjunto entre gobierno (Ministerio de Salud) y OSC (DATA UY). Se trata de un innovador modelo de trabajo que implica la complicidad y esfuerzos del gobierno y sociedad civil (pilar esencial en la lógica de los compromisos OGP) en un tema tan sensible como es la salud pública, y presenta potencialidad para ser proyectado o escalado en otros sectores o ámbitos de política pública (por ejemplo, en el ámbito educativo o en materia de regulación).
Uruguay Team	95.0	Florence Thibault	SUSTAINABILITY	4.8	We can see the three stages of the initiative : 1. e-information, 2. quality of the data, 3. e-participation. The first phase is complete. The second phase is developped, which means further development and perfecting of the application and updating the new data. The third phase adds e-participation features, allowing citizens not only to consult and compare indicators, but also submit complaints through the application.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Justine Dupuys	SUSTAINABILITY	5.0	This initiative can be considered like an institutional project. It was first implemented by NGO and media and then, the platform was created in collaboration with the government. there is three clear steps for the scaling-up of this initiative.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tania Sanchez	SUSTAINABILITY	4.4	They claim sustainability has been included since the design of the initiative, however there is practically no discussion of the challenges that might be faced. A strength fos sustainability is the partnerships involved.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tiago Peixoto	SUSTAINABILITY	4.0	The initiative lists activities to institutionalize the initiative, but it fails to present convincing evidence on how to resist the pressure of private service providers.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Florence Thibault	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative concerns all the population. There is no focus on a vulnerable population.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tiago Peixoto	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	There is some evidence that people who did not have access to information now have, however it is unclear whether this has been used by the most vulnerable or those who needs it the most (e.g. remote locations).
Uruguay Team	95.0	Alvaro Ramirez Alujas	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	La iniciativa es una potente herramienta de información y acceso en un tema relevante: la salud pública. Facilta el acceso y potencia el control social y la rendición de cuentas, empoderando a la ciudadanía y generando nuevas vías para el trabajo colaborativo entre el gobierno y la sociedad civil extrapolable/escalable a otros sectores de política pública.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Justine Dupuys	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	5.0	this application try to reach vulnerable population providing valuable information on health services.
Uruguay Team	95.0	Tania Sanchez	SPECIAL RECOGNITION	0.0	The initiative is not targeted for a vulnerable population, but it is argued that it will benefit more remote communities.
