Canada's International Experience In Combating Corruption: The Applicability Of The Open Data Model In Algeria
Authors : Chouia Messaoud .
Abstract
Abstract : The article examines Canada’s experience in employing open data policies as a tool to combat corruption, with the aim of drawing lessons that could benefit Algeria. The analysis is based on the premise that corruption is a global phenomenon that hinders development, weakens institutions, threatens political stability, and undermines trust between the state and society. Open data is presented as a mechanism to enhance transparency and accountability by making government information available in usable digital formats, thereby enabling citizens, the media, and researchers to monitor public performance and detect irregularities. Canada has made notable progress since the launch of its Open Government Portal in 2011 and the adoption of the Open Government Policy in 2014, grounded in a clear legal framework and effective institutional coordination. Practical applications have included public procurement portals, lobbying registries, officials’ disclosures, and budget and expenditure data. Despite this progress, challenges related to data quality, updating, and privacy protection persist. Nevertheless, political will, capacity building, and civil partnerships have strengthened the success of the experience. In contrast, Algeria faces difficulties related to weak law enforcement, bureaucratic complexity, and limited transparency, which call for a comprehensive national open data strategy to support institutional reform and consolidate the principles of good governance.
