Data capacity building in the global south : emergent patterns and insights from 24 IDRC data for development (D4D) projects
Get PDFStrengthening data capacity across civil society, governments, and the private sector in the global south has been an important target outcome of IDRC's Theory of Change for Open Data for Development (OD4D). This study reflects a full review and synthesis of 24 projects related to data capacity building that were undertaken for the purpose of identifying common themes (patterns), effectiveness criteria, and program design considerations. The goal is to determine keys for success, longer-term impact, and expanded knowledge sharing/re-use
Open data for development : building an inclusive data revolution
Get PDFThis annual report (2016) provides a summary of results and activities supported by the Open Data for Development (OD4D) program, structured according to program objectives; an introduction to the regional hubs and impact of the global initiatives; and some lessons, challenges and future plans. In 2016, OD4D made particular efforts to support the use of open data in sectors including anti-corruption, agriculture, cities, health, and education. Activities supported 19 innovative platforms, including support of service delivery in Africa along with other innovations in the Caribbean, Asia and Latin America. Open data training was provided for hundreds of civil society participants.World Bank GroupGlobal Affairs CanadaUnited Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID

Open Data for Development : building an inclusive data revolution
Get PDFOpen Data for Development (OD4D) focuses on building the supply of quality open data, and improving its use by leaders in government, civil society, the media and business to further public interest and improve peoples’ lives. This annual report briefly reviews the achievements and lessons learned in the first year of the implementation of the OD4D program (2015-2016). Making open data part of the infrastructure of government and markets can help hold to account increasingly complex systems of governance and trade.World BankGlobal Affairs CanadaUnited Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID
Open data for development : annual report 2020-2021

The paper reviews activities, goals, outcomes and outputs of the OD4D Phase One and Two, while introducing the Third phase, which is to facilitate the use of data to improve gender equity and inclusion, governance and economic growth, and builds on the work of the Feminist Open Government Initiative (FOGO). Open Data for Development network helps governments plan, execute and manage standards and open indicators, helping harness the power of open data
Open data impact map
No full textThe open data impact map is a searchable, centralized database of open data use cases from around the world.
It is a collaborative effort that draws on previous studies, examples from an international network of Regional Supporters, an online survey, and thorough research. By bringing these many examples together in a centralized platform, the Map makes it possible to filter, compare, analyze, and study the wide range of use cases for open data. The Map is now in beta and will be officially launched in 2016; it will be continuously maintained and updated.
The Open Data Impact Map is intended to:
Demonstrate the value of open government data in a range of applications;
Identify key trends and best practices in open data use; and
Provide a basis for further analysis of the impact of open data globally.
The Open Data Impact Map is supported with funding from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) as part of the Open Data for Development (OD4D) Network
Open data for development (OD4D) : annual report 2017-18
Get PDFOD4D leverages a global network of regional hubs, expert advisors and global initiatives to use open data in generating greater accountability and transparency, locally-driven innovations, and better delivery of key public services in areas such as gender equality, education and health. A strategic shift in 2017 allowed the network to research and engage with emergent dialogues around data for development (Ethics, Algorithms, and Privacy rights), to support relevant development priorities and sector-specific opportunities, and to continue to act as conveners of stakeholders in government, civil society, academia and business.World Bank (WB)Global Affairs Canada (GAC)United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID)Hewlett Foundatio
Open data for development (OD4D) node - Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
Get PDFThe Open Data Middle East and North Africa (ODMENA) network placed emphasis on the role of open data in achieving Sustainable Development Goals in the MENA region. From these goals, four themes emerge: Data Skills, Urban Development, Gender, and Policy. ODMENA has contributed to an emerging data ecosystem in the region through working with partners to build and strengthen open data creation and use. The report outlines projects, main objectives and research findings from projects under each node theme. This includes research and planning that guided project design and development. Sample maps and infographic outputs drawn from data are also presented

No full textThe report outlines work completed to date and draws attention to further steps needed to ensure that efforts will benefit the ongoing work of the International Open Data Charter as well as the Joinedup Data Alliance, as part of broader Open Data for Development (OD4D) programming. A key focus for future research would be the interoperability of these open data policy and technical standards
Drivers of data for development : exploring the factors that enable availability and utility of open data for development in Africa
Get PDFThis paper provides evidence regarding creating an enabling environment for the implementation of successful, adequately resourced open data for development (OD4D) initiatives in Africa, that can catalyse sustainable development outcomes. It also examines the barriers to OD4D, with examples from country case studies. The World Bank defines development data as the data produced by country vital statistics systems (census, national statistical offices, government ministries and agencies) on a country’s social, economic and environmental issues. Creating an enabling environment for the publication and use of data for development is critical for inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development outcomes in Africa.Global Affairs Canada (GAC
