On October 31, the presentation of the current version of the public interface for receiving data (Application Programming Interface, API), which provides access to DREAM open data, took place.
The DREAM ecosystem is built on the principle of “everyone sees everything” and aims to ensure full transparency and accountability of restoration projects – from planning to commissioning.
“Open data will be important for recovery management, it is the foundation of trust. Only under conditions of transparency and accountability can we count on financing and support for reconstruction. From the very beginning, the DREAM system was conceived as a case of close cooperation between the state, the public, and international partners — we must continue to work together to improve the system. Open data will help in this,” said Oleksandra Azarkhina, Deputy Minister of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine.
Thanks to АРI, all data on projects established in DREAM became available to professional users who work with analytical tools. Currently, more than 1,700 projects are entered into the system, and the Ministry of Community Development, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine, the State Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine, together with the DREAM Project Office, are working to increase their number.
Much of the data is generated in the low-code platform of a sectoral departmental project management system for the Digital Restoration Ecosystem for Accountable Management (DREAM). The updated platform will provide project initiators with convenient access to work with the DREAM ecosystem, and will also ensure the collection of project data in accordance with the global Open Contracting Data Standard. In addition, updating the platform will help speed up the creation of projects and project ideas, as well as increase the quality of their preparation.
Development of a low-code platform of a sectoral departmental project management system (second-level system) and its pilot implementation for the Digital Restoration Ecosystem for Accountable Management (DREAM) is carried out by Better Regulation Delivery Office supported by Project “Effective Governance through GovTech and Transparency in Ukraine” implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Government of Germany.
The API is available online.
