    Africa data revolution report 2016 : highlighting developments in African data ecosystems
    (2016) van Belle, Jean-Paul; Nzayisenga, Canisius; Akanbi, Olusegun; Selassie, Solomon; Mdadila, Kenneth
    This first edition of the biennial Africa Data Revolution Report aims to address issues in transforming data ecosystems. It maps the current system in terms of purpose, actors, principles and protocols; legal, legislative and policy frameworks; technological infrastructure, tools and platforms; and dynamic interactions between purposes, technologies and systems. Official statistics (what and who gets counted) can be and have been used as tools for social, economic and political exclusion and segregation in Africa, especially under colonial and apartheid rule. The report makes recommendations regarding what actions African countries can take to maximize the positive, and mitigate potentially negative impacts of the data revolution.

    Africa data revolution report 2018 : the status and emerging impact of open data in Africa
    (2018-11) Van Belle, Jean-Paul; Lämmerhirt, Danny; Iglesias, Carlos; Mungai, Paul; Nuhu, Hubeidatu; Hlabano, Mbongeni
    Open data readiness in government appears to be fairly low and not institutionalized. Strong regional champions are needed to demonstrate the benefits and impacts of an enduring, committed, well-resourced open data initiative. In spite of this, opening up election data has had immeasurable positive impacts on the transparency and acceptance of key elections in three of the six country cases: Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Kenya. Given the humanitarian cost of violent elections, even a few open election events justifies Open Government Data (OGD) in Africa. This detailed report begins an account of open data initiatives in African countries.

    Assessing open governance data in South Cotabato
    (2014)
    The Province of South Cotabato is located in the southern part of the Philippines with a long tradition of participatory governance processes. The impact of providing information to citizens through the government website is still very low at this stage. South Cotabato’s website focuses more on tourism and investment promotion. Apart from information on local government leaders and on recent activities of the government published as news articles, there is little governance information contained in the website. This one-page brief reviews available open governance data.

    Case study report on investigation of the use of the online national budget of Nigeria
    (2014-07) Mejabi, Omenogo Veronica; Azeez, Adesina L.; Adedoyin, Adeyinka; Oloyede, Muhtahir Oluwaseyi; McNaughton, Maurice
    This case study investigates the use of online government budget data in Nigeria, and the availability of government open data. It looks at both the supply side (government officials making data available) and the demand side of open data (intermediaries and end users who access, process and make use of it). Key findings indicate that there is a growing awareness of open data and its uses. Media and social media use of budget data can generate interest and engagement with budget issues. Licensing requirements for open data are unclear and there is significant potential for greater use of open budget data.

    Final evaluation of the Open Data for Development (Phase III) Initiative of the International Development Research Centre
    (2023) Lomofsky, Dena; Mancebo, Elena; Percival, Sheridan-Lee; Ncube, Petronella; Davids, Shu-aat; Hearn, Simon; Jaywalk Design
    The twenty-first century has seen the rise of new kinds of global challenges such as the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and racial, gender, sexual and economic injustices. These challenges connect us all and they require trust, cooperation and mutual respect between countries and people groups, but they also require timely, accurate and actionable evidence. Transparency and accountability in public and private institutions is essential to address and overcome these kinds of interconnected, complex challenges, and open data is a key tool to achieving this. The Open Data for Development (OD4D) program is a global partnership to advance the availability, use and impact of open data in government, civil society, and private sectors. “Open data is digital data that is made available with the technical and legal characteristics necessary for it to be freely used, reused, and redistributed by anyone, anytime, anywhere.” OD4D is an initiative that aims to increase the availability of quality Open Data (OD) and its use by actors in government, civil society, and the private sector for greater social good. The OD4D program began in 2015 and is currently coming to the end of its third phase (2020 – 2022) and is supported the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Hewlett Foundation and Global Affairs Canada.

    Full disclosure policy is nice but not enough
    (2014) ODDC
    The Philippines is one of eight pioneering countries that founded the Open Government Partnership (2011). The partnership calls for greater availability of government information to the public as well as implementation of standards of transparency and accountability. This one-pager finds that while the Full Disclosure Policy made possible provision of information, it failed to acknowledge the awareness, interest, needs, and capabilities of its intended audience. Supplying information to the public is only meaningful when the information complies with the needs of citizens in a format that they are able to understand.

    International open data conference 2016 : summary report and the second action plan for international collaboration
    (2016) Open Data for Development Network
    Supported by an online archive of more than 80 sessions and 20 special events (Madrid, 2016), this report reflects on the discussions and debates that took place at the IODC, as well as information shared on a wide range of global initiatives. The International Open Data Conference (IODC) brings together the international open data community to discuss key trends and issues that are shaping the future of open data. Data needs to be reusable, but more importantly, actually used. The overarching focus is on strengthening the relevance of specific data released to address specific problems.

    Investigating the impact of Kenya’s open data initiative on marginalised communities
    (Jesuit Hakimani Centre, Nairobi Kenya, 2014-04) Mokua, Elias; Chiliswa, Zacharia; Tendet, Emmanuel K.; Sharif, Raed M.
    Aspects of the Kenyan Open Data Initiative (KODI, 2011) are reflected in objectives of this study: to investigate the landscape of open data and its impacts in lives of Kenyan people, particularly those in marginalised areas. The study was conducted in two urban slums and a rural settlement. Findings show there is a mismatch between the data citizens demand and the data the Kenya portal and other intermediaries have provided. Most people go to local information intermediaries instead of government data portals. Crucial to success and sustainability is attention to local contexts when designing and implementing open data initiatives.

    Open data leaders network digest
    (2016) Open Data Institute; Duhaney, Dawn; Munteanu, Flavia; Davis, Laura; Philpott, Adrian; Scott, Anna
    While this digest focuses on challenges for civil servants, many of the techniques and lessons discussed apply to open data leaders in private or third-sector organisations. The digest represents a collection of reflections from leaders of open data initiatives about their experience in driving change, with insights about enabling governance reform, working in coalition, tackling implementation challenges, and stimulating innovative uses of data. In some ways, civil servants who innovate with data are performing the tasks of entrepreneurs. The Open Data Institute (ODI) connects, equips and inspires people around the world to innovate with data.

    Opening government data through mediation : exploring the roles, practices and strategies of data intermediary organisations in India
    (2014) Chattapadhyay, Sumandro
    This study examines existing practices of access and use of government data in India in order to understand challenges inherent to the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP). Positioned between two agents in the information supply chain, the “data intermediary organisation” focuses on improving access to, and use of information for its intended audience, structuring findings into a form understandable for users. Often the challenge of official government data is its analysis. It may be crucial to share analytical findings from government data as well as the collated and sanitised data itself.
