Guide to Using the Public Section of the Transparency Register

НАЗК підготувало покрокову інструкцію по роботі з відкритою частиною Реєстру. Вона пояснює, як перетворити масив інформації на зручний аналітичний інструмент. Відкриті дані – це основа будь-якого цивілізованого лобізму. Реєстр прозорості має подвійну мету: забезпечити звітність лобістів та дати суспільству можливість відстежувати, хто і як впливає на державні рішення.

Guide to Using the Public Section of the Transparency Register

The NACP has prepared a step-by-step guide on navigating the public section of the Register. It explains how to turn a vast array of information into a practical analytical tool.

Open data is the foundation of any civilized lobbying. The Transparency Register serves a dual purpose: ensuring lobbyist accountability and enabling the public to track who influences government decisions and how.

The guide covers the Register's most critical functions:

  • Targeted search: How to quickly find a specific lobbyist, company, or business association.
  • Smart filtering: How to adjust parameters to see all players advancing interests in your specific niche (e.g., exclusively in the agricultural, IT, or pharmaceutical sectors).
  • Record analysis: How to correctly read a lobbying entity's registry record, including exactly where to find information about their clients, spheres of influence, and funding sources.
  • Data export: How to download open data to create your own reports, presentations, or analytical briefs.

The document is designed for a broad audience:

Analysts and business representatives – to verify the reliability of potential partners or monitor competitors.

Journalists and the civil society sector – to track the sources of influence on key government decisions.

Lobbyists themselves – to clearly understand how their public data is presented to clients, the media, and society.
