Declaração Australiana de Governo Aberto

Nessa semana de Workshop sobre governo eletrônico no Congresso da Sociedade Brasileira de Computação, acho apropriado mencionar a recente iniciativa de governo aberto do governo australiano. Depois dos Britânicos e americanos, as iniciativas nessa direção se espalham. O lançamento na Austrália foi precedido de uma declaração de governo aberto veiculada na Internet. Vejam um extrato da mesma aqui.

The Australian Government now declares that, in order to promote greater participation in Australia’s democracy, it is committed to open government based on a culture of engagement, built on better access to and use of government held information, and sustained by the innovative use of technology.
Citizen collaboration in policy and service delivery design will enhance the processes of government and improve the outcomes sought. Collaboration with citizens is to be enabled and encouraged. Agencies are to reduce barriers to online engagement, undertake social networking, crowd sourcing and online collaboration projects and support online engagement by employees, in accordance with the Australian Public Service Commission Guidelines.
The possibilities for open government depend on the innovative use of new internet-based technologies. Agencies are to develop policies that support employee-initiated, innovative Government 2.0-based proposals.
The Australian Government’s support for openness and transparency in Government has three key principles:
Informing: strengthening citizen’s rights of access to information, establishing a pro-disclosure culture across Australian Government agencies including through online innovation, and making government information more accessible and usable;
Engaging: collaborating with citizens on policy and service delivery to enhance the processes of government and improve the outcomes sought; and
Participating: making government more consultative and participative.

Vejam a ênfase no provimento da informação, no engajamento com os cidadãos e na participação.
