| Summary: | In recent years, there have been massive changes to the government reporting requirements, which reflect the government's recognition of the need for a more open evidence-based practice. As a response, the U.S. government ordered to apply open government in all government agencies. The open government's objective is to have open government systems that include open access to their records, procedures, and data for public review and engagement. Currently, government agencies control and filter shared data with the public, limiting the ability to efficiently and effectively promote public oversight. This paper proposes a conceptual model, named GovBlockchain, that has the potential to achieve open government data objectives. The GovBlockchain is illustrated using the procurement cycle, and the results are subsequently compared with current open government practice. The results indicate that GovBlockchain provides stakeholders with a higher level of transparency. |
