No Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO -- ►Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) -- ►Satisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The key achievements are as follows: (i) During January 2019 and July 2019 missions, the SCITC PIU presented the overall results for the last period for the Open Data project, which were found to be moderately satisfactory. (ii) Based on inadequate delivery of the portal solution, it was decided by the Management of the SCITC to terminate the Contract with the portal vendor and entrust the State Enterprise “Infosystem” to develop the Open Data portal using CKAN platform in accordance with the ToR. Development of the portal is under control of the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman of the SCITC and the acting Project Director. (iii) Regarding the number of MoUs signed with public entities to supply Open Data, 18 MoUs have been signed. The project has already surpassed the end target (8 agencies). In 12 pilot government agencies, an analysis of state data disclosure for the open data portal was conducted. The pilot government agencies adopted internal open data action plans, and the open data sets have been identified to be placed on the Open Data portal. SCITC's Open Data Team have prepared an analytical note on the results of work with pilot government agencies. Based on this note, recommendations have been prepared for the Open Data Working Group and for the National Forum "Open Government." The World Bank task team recommended preparing the open datasets that should be based primarily on the results of a study on the demand side for 10/5/2019 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Implementing Open Data Action Plan for the Kyrgyz Republic (P160933) open data in Kyrgyzstan. It was also recommended that PIU should formulate visions for the development of innovative solutions based on open data, as well as the transition to Digital CASA - Kyrgyzstan project after the completion of this Open Data project (ex. transfer of open data to the G-Cloud). (iv) SCITC's Open Data team with hired legal experts began a study to identify gaps regarding open data related legislation. During the study period, international best practices in the field of open data were reviewed. The results of this study were reflected on the abovementioned recommendations for the Open Data Working Group so that the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic can improve the legislation to create favorable conditions for the development of the Open Data Ecosystem in the country. SCITC's Open Data team have prepared two interim reports on the analysis of national and international legislation. The World Bank task team suggested holding a series of joint video conferences with the participation of leading international experts in the field of open data to share knowledge and experience. Open Data team visited Tashkent to share experience and learn from international experts attending Open Data events during the week of Sept 23-27. (v) The Open Data team developed a communications strategy and a ToR for hiring a company to implement the strategy. The contract was signed in June 2019 with Qvazar, a local PR agency. The Bank team recommended aligning the open data communications strategy with that of Digital CASA - Kyrgyzstan project and other related communication activities to increase efficiency and optimize available resources. The World Bank task team placed special importance on strategic communications campaigns for the implementation of open data and recommended launching a press release when important datasets are disclosed. The current closing date of the project is October 10, 2019. Extension of closing date until December 31, 2019 was requested to allow the use of the grant resources to complete some of the ongoing activities. The following activities are planned to conduct before the end of the project: • To develop and approve a standard instruction on the procedure for publishing open data by government agencies, as well as technical requirements to open data publication; • To create the list of data sets of 12 pilot departments, to appoint responsible persons and publish in amount of not less than 700 data sets; • To work out the composition of the data sets for compliance with preliminary technical requirement, as well as the composition of data provided; • To organize testing of the portal and data sets, and work out testing results; • To implement integration of the Open Data Portal with the sites/information systems of the ministries through API; • To develop user guidelines and conduct training.
