“…And it also hinders foresight and planning because forecasts veer far from what actually happens. The benefits of a good data ecosystem are manifold, and governments in the region should embrace an evidence-based approach to policymaking (Arezki and others 2020;Islam and Lederman 2020).…”

“…Most relevant is the challenge of low data capacity and transparency in the MENA region (Arezki and others 2020; Ekhator-Mobayode and Hoogeveen 2021). These data problems impede sound analyses and policymaking, hurting growth in the process (Lederman and Islam 2020). This report focuses on growth forecasts, which are strongly affected by data capacity and transparency and are important to both policymakers and the World Bank's operational programs.…”

“…Past major reform initiatives to improve the business climate or governance have been followed by significantly higher TFP growth in the near term and investment growth in the medium term, including in EMDEs in ECA (World Bank 2021a, 2021b. These reforms can be complemented by efforts that improve accountability, including enhancing data transparency and security, which can strengthen institutions and ensure the efficient allocation of resources (Islam and Lederman 2020;World Bank 2021b).…”

“…To achieve transparency, the information must be accessible, relevant, of good quality, and reliable, principally in decisionmaking [6]. Thus governments consider transparency an essential mechanism of public enforceability and responsibility towards society [7].…”

Assessing Transparency in eGovernment Electronic Processes

Context. The electronic government has become a trend for transforming public management to comply with the performance of an efficient, modern state. The processes for public procurement and personnel recruitment represent an essential fraction of a country's public spending. Objective. Maturity models are tools for assessing different management dimensions resulting in some level of organizational maturity on an ordinal scale which can show null, partial, or total progress towards the desired state. This paper presents an e-government maturity model for public procurement and personnel recruitment processes, based on a literature review to determine the current state of research in the field. Methodology. We have used a known procedural model from Becker to support the design of the proposed model. Later on, we have tested it with government buyers and personnel recruiters. Findings. These initial results show that users understand the questionnaires designed for the study, and their answers allow us to obtain deep validation. A tool with these characteristics can be handy for measuring the degree of transparency in public entities, thus reducing corruption levels in their processes. Conclusion. This proposal describes the complexity of variables that influence the transparency of a socio-technical process in public tenders. We describe five levels of transparency for software procurement through development projects. These classifications enable the maturity levels of the transparency of electronic procedures used by government agencies to be measured in different dimensions. Implications. One of the crucial challenges to increasing a government's transparency is defining a regulatory or legal framework that regulates its processes and allows the levels of transparency or corruption to be measured in its different departments. Thus instruments and metrics play a crucial role in monitoring the expected change. With direct application in the industry, a model is an essential step for fundamental transparency in electronic governments.
