Mexico has developed an ambitious national open data policy to
create value from the use and re-use of government data by the
public, private and social sectors. Open government data (OGD)
has the potential to spur the digital economy, as well as
contribute to more efficient public service delivery and greater
public engagement. Mexico has demonstrated its commitment to OGD
through its close involvement in international open data
initiatives. However, it faces challenges in effectively
implementing OGD domestically in a way that makes a greater
impact on the economy and society. This would require, notably,
institutionalizing open data, understanding the demand for
government data, reaching out to potential users and working more
closely with local governments. To fully realise the potential of
open data, it is crucial that public bodies understand the
benefits, are fully behind the project and actively participate
in its implementation. This report provides an analysis of
Mexico’s policies as well as recommendations for achieving its
national objectives and making the most of OGD.
