Support the production and use of information, and especially data
- Producing, collecting, storing, processing, analysing and sharing data: which action(s) must the local authority take charge of?
- Which types of data that are important for municipal development and public action should be given priority: statistics, council decisions, maps, civil registry?
- For what purposes should the local authority use and exploit the data generated: knowledge, forecasting, controlling, programming?
- For which users: the local authorities, third party public authorities, the private sector, citizens?
- What are the limits to be anticipated: data storage capacity, data formats, ignorance of the problems for which there is no data?
Facilitate communication and the exchanges between the stakeholders of the territory.
- Which priorities: connect the stakeholders who are disconnected, foster the emergence of new stakeholders, encourage new ways of exchanging?
- Which stakeholders: connected users, vulnerable populations, the private sector, informal sector, the NGOs?
- To what ends: to raise awareness, consult, open new markets, tax, census?
- In what form: information campaigns, forums, call centres, social networks, trade services?
- With what limits: feed the practices that bypass local authorities; develop a supply and demand system that excludes the most vulnerable; dependency on intermediaries?
