Item Open Access Evaluation of the Open Data for Development Program : final report(2017-05) Acevedo Ruiz, Manuel; Pena-Lopez, IsmaelThe evaluation focuses on both accountability and learning, providing accountability to the program's management and organizational governance structures for program results. In order to inform future programming on open data for development (OD4D), it reflects upon OD4D implementation and themes. The evaluation report addresses five topics: (1) Results (2) Design (3) Management (4) Policy and (5) Gender. The program both created and or made substantial contributions to various initiatives that resulted in numerous products, diversified by geographical domain and type. These are reported on in terms of outputs and outcomes.Item Metadata only Financial Times Data Blog: Open data in Burkina Faso(Pearson PLC, London, United Kingdom, 2015) Carolan, LizLiterally translated Burkina Faso means “land of the upright people”. It has long been one of West Africa’s most stable countries, despite having one of world’s lowest GDPs and being surrounded by countries with serious security issues, like Mali and Nigeria. In October 2014 Burkina Faso made its way onto TV screens around the world – a 36 hour popular uprising forced long-term leader Blaise Compaoré from office. An interim administration was put in place and the first elections for thirty years without Compaoré’s candidacy are planned for 11th October 2015. And now the country hopes that open data and transparency will offer a stabilising force. It sees open data as a vehicle for distinguishing itself from the previous administration – open, transparent, and better at engaging with the public.Item Open Access How open data and international development need to learn from one another(Open Data Institute, London, GB, 2015-07) Smith, Fiona; Scott, AnnaFor the international development community, open data is most often viewed as a tool to target aid money more effectively, track progress, and promote transparency. However, there is increasing recognition by open data leaders, that open data is less a technology project, and more a challenge for culture change and institutional reform. If we acknowledge that open data is a culture change challenge, how can the open data movement learn from more established development actors to design support programmes? What can those implementing open data initiatives learn from those who have been working on similar governance-type reforms for decades?Item Metadata only Introducing the Open Data Leaders Network(Open Data Institute, London, United Kingdom, 2015) Lang, PhilThe Open Data Leaders Network brings together outstanding government leaders of open data initiatives from around the world. The network offers a space for sharing knowledge and ideas, discussing common challenges, best practices and learning from peers. It is supported by the IDRC as part of the OD4D network and the European Commission. This group featured individuals from a diverse range of national, sub-national and city-wide roles including representatives from Buenos Aires to New Zealand.Item Open Access Management response to the evaluation of the Open Data for Development Program(2018-06) Perini, FernandoProgress was made in efforts to develop an inclusive global agenda, increase open data capacities in government and civil society actors, and to create instruments that provide quantitative and qualitative references for the open data field. Recommendations for the second phase of the Open Data for Development (OD4D) program are outlined, and important lessons from the review are noted: the value of the ecosystem approach; the flexible and successful combination of using both global and local partners; and the need to commit to long-term capacity building based on an agenda led by local stakeholders.Item Open Access Open data and change in government(Open Data Institute, London, United Kingdom, 2015-04) Smith, FionaThis presentation defines open data, and shares examples of potential social and economic benefits. It discusses risks and challenges when implementing open data initiatives. It also introduces approaches to managing open data cultural change in government.Item Metadata only Open Data Leader's Network- cohort 1(Open Data Institute, London, United Kingdom, 2015) Truswell, EmmaWithout use and reuse of open data, an open data policy has very limited usefulness. Collaboration between government, the private sector, academia and civil society is essential to the success of Open Data initiatives. With all this in mind, there is more space than in other, more established policy areas for officials from different countries to learn from one another and innovate together. Led by experts Liz Carolan and David Tarrant, the open data leaders came from four continents and seven countries to the first Network conference. See website https://theodi.org/project/open-data-leaders-networkItem Metadata only Open Data Leader's Network- cohort 2(Open Data Institute, London, United Kingdom, 2015) Stone, Paul; Scott, AnnaNew Zealand’s Open Government Data Programme Leader, Paul Stone, reflects on his time at the Open Data Leaders Network: what he learnt, who he met and how peer-learning has helped him find better solutions to problems.Item Open Access Open data leaders in government finally have a support network - each other(Open Data Institute, London, GB, 2015-08) Stone, Paul; Scott, AnnaThis article reports on the diversity of the second cohort of open data leaders, who spent a week together at the Open Data Institute (ODI). Different ways of articulating problems help to clarify what the problem is, which can then be followed with diverse approaches and useful solutions. Pumping out volumes of data isn’t necessarily useful. A smarter approach is being adopted in Quito, Ecuador where five problems have been identified to solve, and labs are subsequently being established to determine what data will be required to solve these problems, opening it up with a clear purpose for doing so.Item Open Access Open Data Leaders Network 2 Workshop report(Open Data Institute, London, United Kingdom, 2015-09) Pritchard, KathrynThis report details the Open Data Leaders Network programme (2015) workshop objectives, methodology, daily activities and participant feedback. It concludes with lessons learned in order to reflect on the effectiveness of this approach and to inform future interventions. By bringing together some of the most talented open data leaders, the Open Data Institute (ODI) hopes to incubate a global peer leadership network.Item Open Access Open Data Leaders Network : bringing together government leaders of open data initiatives from around the world (video)(Vimeo, 2015-09) Lang, PhilThe Open Data Leaders Network brings together outstanding government leaders of open data initiatives from around the world.

Updates on the latest thinking in Open Data included a case study on the UK’s data.gov.uk experience given by International Director Richard Stirling and input from CEO Gavin Starks.Item Open Access People-centered approach to open data in government(2015-04) Smith, Fiona; Duhaney, DawnThis Overseas Development Institute (ODI) PowerPoint presentation presents some applications of open data and provides information for a variety of audiences, from an inquiry based teaching platform. Questions such as: Which of the recommended open data initiatives resonate with you? What would you put into practice? The presentation articulates ingredients that are needed for a successful Open Data initiative: challenges, risks and limitations; brief case studies; how to encourage feedback; and how to measure progress. The ODI is the UK's leading independent think tank on international development and humanitarian issues.Item Open Access Putting open data into policy : lessons from leaders around the world(Open Data Institute, London, GB, 2015-04) Truswell, EmmaOpen data as a policy area is not more than five years old. “Best practice” isn’t entrenched, and collaboration between government, the private sector, academia and civil society is not only desirable but essential to the success of a new initiative. Open data leaders need to address very real fears from colleagues and bosses, providing reassurance about national security and privacy concerns, the risk of embarrassment to the administration, and concerns about the quality of data. This can be lonely and controversial work. However, an open data policy means very little without the use and reuse of open data.Item Metadata only What open data and international development can learn from each other(Open Data Institute, London, United Kingdom, 2015) Smith, Fiona; Scott, AnnaAs we increasingly acknowledge that open data is a culture change challenge, how can the open data movement learn from more established development actors in how to design support programmes?
