The United Nations global survey of e-government presents a systematic assessment of the use and potential of information and communication technology to transform the public sector by enhancing transparency, efficiency, access to public services and citizen participation in all countries and at all levels of development.

The report examines transparency of stimulus funding and finds that open data could do a great deal to assuage unease and regain the public trust.
