Tunisia 34% open

The key economic and demographic indicators are available in the official website of the National Institute of Statistics, mainly in Arabic or French. Most of them are regularly updated (most recently Nov 11th 2014). There is no explicit license indicated neither on the Institute's website nor in the individual documents. As in such cases default copyright seems to apply, we consider data to not comply with the definition of openly licensed data.

Disclaimer: Parliamentary Elections were held on Oct 26th, 2014 and the Presidential election is scheduled on November 23rd 2014 - This submission to the Open Data Index was made on November 20th, 2014

Preliminary results from the Oct 2014 election are available here: http://www.isie.tn/documents/arrete-resultats-preliminaires.pdf

Data on the 2011 elections is available from the Instance supérieure independante pour les élections (in Arabic). This data, not available in machine readable formats, was scrapped and used to build: http://tunisiaelectiondata.org/# (Mourakiboun, Development Seed, Democracy International). However, the links from Tunisia Election Data and from the 2013 Global Open Data Index to 2011 election data are now dead.

Reviewer: When surveyed after the parliamentary elections and after the first round of the presidential (on Nov 26), the ISIE website provided preliminary results from the presidential elections and additional information and data on the parliamentary elections. See: http://www.isie.tn/documents/%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AD%20%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%AC%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89%20%D9%84%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A6%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9.pdf

I would thus consider information to be released on a timely basis -- even if the "data" is print-out, manually signed and then re-scanned PDF.

Budget available for 2014 (Arabic) in PDF as well as a "Circulaire de préparation du budget de l'état pour l'année 2015". As it is unclear what the status of Tunisia's Open Data initiative is, solely the website of the data producer has been considered for this research.

No information about license, therefore the data is considered non-open. Industry: http://www.tunisieindustrie.nat.tn/fr/dbi.asp Services : http://www.tunisieindustrie.nat.tn/fr/dbs.asp

The website http://www.poste.tn/codes.php allows to map a locality to a zip code, but the data is not open (according to the Open Definition). It is also possible to map a locality with latitude/longitude in this official government web site http://interieur.gov.tn/projects/geodata/# This second website is under Creative Commons by 3.0 licence (http://interieur.gov.tn/article/licence).

Data is available on the Tunisian Official Gazette website. Also, since 2012, recent laws projects are published in the Constituent Assembly's official website: http://www.anc.tn/site/main/AR/docs/projets/liste_projets.jsp On this website, documents are available in PDF formats.

Train: data can be available via a search engine in HTML format http://www.sncft.com.tn/index.php Bus: data can be available via a search engine in HTML format http://www.sntri.com.tn/html_fr/result_tarif_horaire_sntri.php

Data updates are not clearly indicated thus it is unknown whether data is provided on a timely and up-to-date basis.

PDF Reports published in the official website of the National Agency for Environment Protection from 2005 to 2008. No more updates since then. The website and the information it contains are the property of the Agency, thus data is considered non-open.

(No change from 2013)

Some data annual expenditure data can also be accessed here: http://www.finances.gov.tn/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=127&Itemid=303&lang=fr

As yearly (high level) data is available, we can safely assume that the government has monthly data as well but this is not available online.

Via the Open Data Tunisia portal, the most recent budget/spending data is from 2012 (PDF) http://www.data.gov.tn/fr/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=viewlink&link_id=40&Itemid=187

Data is not available online at all.

The Interior Ministry's Open Data website has a map with names of governorates (provinces) and the respective number of delegations for each. But it's not map data as per the indicator's definition. http://opendata.interieur.gov.tn/fr/datas/index/type:3
