The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has released the provisions for the Open Government Data (OGD) to guide agencies on allowing public access to government transactions to boost transparency and accountability.
The OGD will initially cover the 2015 General Appropriations Act, where digital version of transactions will be online.
Budget Secretary Florencio B. Abad said the joint memorandum circular issued by the DBM will guide agencies on how to implement the OGD.
“This is also in keeping with our commitment to the Open Government Partnership, as well as the mission of the Open Data Philippines,” said Abad in a news statement on Tuesday.
