Open Government Data Review of Mexico
Data Reuse for Public Sector Impact and Innovation
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.
