Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

Records of actual (past) national government spending at a detailed transactional level. Data must display ongoing expenditure, including transactions and subsidies. A database of contracts awarded or similar will not be considered sufficient. Open spending data shows whether public money is efficiently and effectively used. It helps to understand spending patterns, and to display corruption, misuse, and waste. We recommend that you consult our methodology section for more information.

  • Individual record of transactions
  • Government office which had the transaction
  • Date of transaction
  • Name of vendor
  • Amount of the transaction

How open is the data?

The FOD Beleid en Ondersteuning provides spending data as yearly expenditures (at: https://www.begroting.be/NL/figures/Documents/Uitgaven%202017ini%20NL.pdf) This data does not show single transactions and what the money was exactly spent on. Other data shows the planned expenditure, which is not actual spending data (e.g. https://www.begroting.be/NL/figures/Documents/AT_54K2107001.pdf) The initial submission by Bart Hanssens is correct. Thank you for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
