I have no doubt the president is bent on leaving a strong legacy. He is out there working so hard. Developments are going on, power is being worked to give Ghana the most electrical power they have ever had. Roads are being built and NPPians are busy insulting the intelligence of Ghanians. We Ghanaians will count the developments that are going to make our lives better, not the NPP tribalistic ranting!

NPP is so desperate they do not even know shame from disgrace. They hate and insult Mahama as being a pepeni and even forget that their little god vice presidential candidate is a Northerner and they keep insulting Northerners as if Mahama is the only Northerner in the Ghana! Soon the only northerners that will be left to vote for them will be Bawumia and the wife, the Fool junior jinapor and Otiko the half northerner. The rest of the NPp northerners will secretely vote for Mahama as they are fed up with NPP always insulting them. ha ha ha !!

Ghana has no Freedom of Information Act and yet she came joint third in Africa. That shows how Africa is behind. I believe Ghana's situation is not the result of the willingness of government and public institutions to share information but rather the outcome of some media houses that conduct investigative journalism, action by some civil society, some pro-opposition public servants leaking information and the use of social media.

I hope this will encourage the Executive and the Legislature to pass the Freedom of Information Bill.

You only come into power not because of the quality of your leadership but because of the size of your population and you also vote along tribal lines. You lot have fucked up Ghana with your mediocre leaders who are not fit for the job. You have fake degrees, Dr this Dr that all fake. That is why Ghana is suffering. We Gas Ewes Notherners will make sure we vote NDC to keep you lot at bay. You don't know jack shit. You only steal Ga people's lands and build houses for yourselves. You have done nothing for Ghana.

Connecting People. Empowering Humanity.

The World Wide Web Foundation was established in 2009 by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee to tackle the fundamental obstacles to realizing his vision of an open Web available, usable, and valuable for everyone.

The Web is the most powerful tool for communication in the history of humanity, creating the potential for all people to participate in building a more peaceful and equitable world.

However, only a small minority of people – mainly urban, male, and affluent – are part of the Web’s global conversation. Despite the recent surge in mobile internet access, nearly two-thirds of the world’s people (mostly in the developing world) are still not connected at all. And once connected, what people are able to do on and with the Web is increasingly threatened by government controls, as well as by certain commercial practices.

We seek to establish the open Web as a global public good and a basic right, ensuring that everyone can access and use it freely.

The foundation is unendowed and relies on charitable donations and partnerships to carry out its work. A registered charity in Switzerland and the USA, we have offices in Washington DC, Geneva, and Cape Town.

Our success will be measured by how well we foster the creativity of our children. Whether future scientists have the tools to cure diseases. Whether people, in developed and developing economies alike, can distinguish reliable information from propaganda or commercial chaff. Whether the next generation will build systems that support democracy and promote accountable debate. I hope that you will join this global effort to advance the Web to empower people.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web,

Founder of the World Wide Web Foundation.

This, in a nutshell is what Sir Tm Berners-Lee Foundation is about, data availability, open data and information availability unhindered, unrestricted, unfettered information, data, every little bit of it, to ensure citizen participation, engagement, and inclusiveness to shape public policy and governance for the greater good of society and humanity.
It would be important to look at the details and the key findings in order to put these findings in the right perspective.

In detail

From our sample of 86 countries, representing a wide range of political, social and economic circumstances we find that:

•Open data initiatives that receive both senior-level government backing and sustained resources are much more likely to achieve impact. This demonstrates that Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives, as they become established, can provide a clear return on effort and investment.

•Much more needs to be done to support data-enabled democracy around the world. There has been very limited expansion of transparency and accountability impacts from OGD over the last year. Of the countries included in the Barometer, just 8% publish open data on government spending, 6% publish open data on government contracts, and a mere 3% publish open data on the ownership of companies. Citizens have a similarly difficult time accessing data on the performance of key public services — just 7% of countries release open data on the performance of health services, and 12% provide corresponding figures on education.

•To maximise impact, open data needs go local. Political impacts from open data are greater in countries that have city-level open data activities. Widespread availability of data skills training is also correlated with higher political impact.

•Global progress towards embedding open data policies stalled in 2014. While many countries with moderate or strong OGD initiatives in 2013 have seen steady growth in the availability and impacts of OGD, a number of countries have slipped backwards over the last 12 months. Many of the countries that made initial steps with OGD in 2012/13 have not sustained their OGD commitments and activities. Government that is “open by default” is a long way off for most of the world’s citizens.

•A small number of countries are moving towards requiring proactive disclosure of government data as part of their Right to Information (RTI) laws — effectively establishing a Right to Data. This should be welcomed. However, the open data policies of most countries continue to lack legislative backing. The continued weakness of data protection laws — particularly in light of continued revelations and concerns about data mining by corporations and states — is a cause for concern.

•For data to be considered truly open, it must be published in bulk, machine-readable formats, and under an open license. This year, just over 10% of the 1,290 different datasets surveyed for the Barometer met these criteria — a small but significant increase from 2013, when 7% of datasets were published in full open data format. Thirty-one countries have at least one open dataset, and just over 50% of the datasets surveyed among the 11 top-ranked countries qualified as fully open.

Country by country analysis

Based on a cluster analysis of our OGD readiness and impact variables we divide countries studied into four groups

Capacity constrained - The countries in this cluster all face challenges in establishing sustainable open data initiatives as a result of: limited government; civil society or private sector capacity; limits on affordable widespread Internet access; and weaknesses in digital data collection and management. A small number of the countries in this cluster, such as Kenya, Ghana and Indonesia, have established open data initiatives, but these remain highly dependent upon a small network of leaders and technical experts. Without sustained leadership and investment, moves towards open data are difficult to make sustainable, as Kenya’s dramatic fall in the Barometer rankings demonstrates. Limited availability of relevant training and technical capacity for working with open data presents an extra challenge for these countries. There is an urgent need for more appropriate models of education and capacity building that can support nascent community and government-led open data initiatives. These countries are most in need of a comprehensive data revolution, including, in many countries, attention to basics of Internet connectivity and data literacy.

So from the foregoing, the case could be made for the insignificant impact and ranking between 2013 and 2014. It moved by just 1, from 47 in 2013 to 46 in 2014.
A lot of work remains to be done, and to be seen to be done, to make the unrestricted, unhindered and unfettered access to data and information really count in shaping public policy, citizen engagement and effective governance.
A country with a RTI bill stalled in parliament, with significant bottlenecks built into such a bill with respect to access to information and data does not make for the "most transparent", and this can be supported by empirical evidence.
For example the CAGD of Ghana is threatening to sue SOFTRIBE, a local software development company for releasing critical information about administrative incompetence and inertia in cleaning the public sector payroll system, which has been aptly classified by Think tank IMANI as a well planned and well orchestrated scheme to loot and plunder the national kitty bonkers, and calling for the CAGD to be SHUT DOWN. These are very significant and goes to the very core of the issues of transparent governance, open data and unfettered access to information that shapes public policy, effective governance and leadership and engenders and ensures growth and development drawing from an engaged citizenry.
The assertion is most inaccurate that the Mahama NDC gov't is "most transparent" within the context of Ghana, and the propaganda slant to it is most unfortunate.
