We have launched a website (http://portals.ineko.sk/) offering a free opportunity to create your own internet portal for assessing and comparing various entities and units mainly related to public administration. The entities can be for example schools, hospitals, courts, municipalities, but also teachers, doctors, judges or mayors. They can be assessed and compared using a set of measurable criteria, as well as user defined ratings. We strongly believe that measuring and comparing performance indicators can enrich public debates and lead to the improvement of quality and efficiency of public services. If interested, you can simply download a template, set it up, and enter text and data. Once you have the data ready, it takes only 2-3 days to create the portal and you do not need to have any knowledge of programming.
The website includes examples of two portals INEKO has already created by using this template. The portals allow for comparing and evaluating school results and financial health of municipalities in Slovakia. Both are widely used by the Slovak public.
If you decide to use this tool for creating your own portal or if you have any questions/problems regarding its implementation, please, let us know about it (contact: portals@ineko.sk). If you also know about anyone who might be interested, please, let him/her know about this opportunity. We would like to know about all portals created by this toolkit so that we could add them to the website and offer inspiration for others.
The creation of this toolkit was supported by a grant from the Foundation Open Society Institute in cooperation with the Think Tank Fund of the Open Society Foundations.
