Kyiv, 21 October 2015 - The Cabinet of Ministers made a step forward on Ukraine's open data path and approved a resolution making 331 state datasets open for the public. UNDP has provided policy support on this issue and is committed to continue working closely with the civil society and the Government to help Ukraine become more transparent and democratic.
When you check your smartphone in the morning trying to figure out if you need an umbrella or a heavy coat that day, or use your GPS navigator to avoid traffic jams, or look for directions on user-generated Open Street Map, you are relying on open data. A new law adopted by the parliament will make open data even more ubiquitous and accessible, making the lives of millions of Ukrainians easier.
