i. If the e government initiative takes off, LIRNEasia and MIDO will focus on developing useful apps from government data that are opened up or generated through e government initiatives. This would include institutionalizing open-data policies and practices.24 ii. Designing applications for people “unlike the app developers” would require understanding them. LIRNEasia and MIDO will design innovator briefs drawing from the ICT consumption and micro-enterprise studies and participate in existing (and well-organized) hackathons, Barcamps, innovator meet-ups in Myanmar to build interest among the participants. The core data for policy enlightenment (and general dissemination) will be generated from the nationally representative sample survey that is currently being undertaken, and the subsequent followup studies that are an attempt to evaluate/quantify the impacts of mobile phones on citizens. This data will be made richer through a series of qualitative research protocols. Emerging issues such as the priming effect of zero-rated content will be researched through both quantitative (questions in the surveys) and qualitative methods. 3.4.1 Expected outcomes  Conduct of one follow-up quantitative survey and several qualitative research protocols in order to develop the innovator briefs.  Offering of multiple learning opportunities including a non-residential course in Nay Pyi Taw for decision makers, including Parliamentarians  Assisting the government to develop evidence-based procedures on which government data files should be opened up for access by members of the public on a priority basis, subject to government willingness; alternatively a media awareness campaign will be implemented  If a government entity such as the local-government authority in Yangon agrees to accept LIRNEasia assistance on establishing demonstration projects on service delivery and data analytics, such assistance will be provided; alternatively a media awareness campaign will be implemented  Preparation of (minimum of ten) “innovation briefs” so developers understand users unlike them, based on the nationally representative sample surveys, and research on SMEs using qualitative studies  Participating in barcamps and hackathons organized in Yangon, Nay Pyi Taw, Mandalay and other cities to disseminate innovator briefs and to generate interest in developing pro-poor and prodisabled-user apps 24 This is already included among MIDO’s strategic priorities. 12
