Fighting a pandemic, we must do together, especially also at the local level, by social distancing to flatten the curve and contain the viral spread.

Local information and communication channels are essential, yet not trivial via social media.

That's why knowing and using the #covid19lgu tagcoding hashtag may save lifes.

• Curated open data in the World Data Atlas (by Knoema): Russian Federation in the World Data Atlas

Consider Principles of Innovation (Principles for Digital Development) #pi9 - Be collaborative. By suitably #tagcoding genuine content, stakeholders and donors can contribute it to an open domestic and global conversation on governance, knowledge sharing and innovation for sustainable development, the economic activities and functions of government in Russian Federation, its cities and municipalities. By providing low-hurdle access to open data that matters to a particular context or trade, stakeholders are empowered to add data-driven elements to the discourse and their learning.

In a #tag2wiki step, the #tagcoded content can be curated, analysed, and shared and conflicting viewpoints can be covered in wiki sector maps and maps of the functions of government, as part of Russian Federation's planning for inclusive and sustainable development¹.

This reference page for Russian Federation is not intended for being read in a linear way. Rather, it must be used as a "4 dimensional topic map" for a knowledge and data driven development discourse in Russian Federation. The reader with an interest in a particular topic can quickly find open data and other content on that "topic in its context and dimension". Before contributing new content, we recommend the reader to minimally check the content that is (referenced) on this page, and to keep in mind Principles of Innovation (Principles for Digital Development) #pi7 - Reuse and improve. For what concerns the reuse, improving or addition of new content, we recommend the use of the suitable hashtag with awareness of its dimension (lgu, sdg, isic or cofog).

Are initiatives transparent, effective & with synergy?
Give your comments or provide links to resources that are instrumental to improving transparency and effectiveness of the public sector and/or aid in Russia.

For the initiatives listed per Function of Government (COFOG class) and/or category of economic activity (ISIC class), comments may be given at an initiative's wiki page. If such a wiki page is missing, make a request to create it in your comment.

Scope of the country's Initiative Book: The initiatives concluded, planned, or ongoing in Russia, involving (relevant) actors listed in the Actor Maps (Included Actors) and compliant with or building upon (relevant) statutes and treaties listed in Statute Books.

Parties in the initiatives: both public authorities and private entities are invited. See Included roles.

Constraints: At the Constraint Dictionary common constraints facing development initiatives are classified by COFOG/COPNI class, and dependencies and impact spheres are indicated. The constraint map is under construction. The degree to which a constraint matters to a developing country, and is (can be) reduced by an initiative, is measured by indicators which are mapped, also by COFOG/COPNI class, at the Indicator Dictionary (under construction).

Achieving synergies across initiatives Initiative management is often the weakest link in the (strategy) execution chain. Traditional project and programme planning and communications approaches insufficiently use the bundling facilities that internet and wikis offer. As a precursor for an initiative atlas, a country initiative book aims to list all development initiatives and cluster them according to their COFOG classification. In this way, proponents and stakeholders of new initiatives can easily discover what initiatives exist already. Suitable cooperative agreements can be made and double or competing efforts can be avoided early in the planning cycle.

Initiatives of developing country governments must both avoid the fragmentation of public resources and ensure a sufficient coverage of all functions of government. An initiative book can support striking such a balance.

As indicated in Reform of the Multilateral Development System: Call for a High-Level Commission (J.F. Linn, The Brookings Institution) both the rapidly rising number of multilateral agencies, and the declining average project size reinforce the risks of aid fragmentation, a lack of focus on scaling up development impact, and rising transactions costs.

Initiative books, used both by the multilateral agencies and country development stakeholders will help mitigate the risks of aid fragmentation.
Moreover, when multilateral and national initiative books are complemented also by nested Development Dashboards, the smaller project size should not be overstraining the limited absorptive capacity of poor recipient countries, it should not lead to inefficient communications with stakeholders, and it could be coupled to a more equitable spreading of the public resources.
