    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.

    Feminist open government research dissemination and results
    (2022-08-31) Merchant, Allison; Open Government Partnership (OGP) Secretariat
    Opening up government remains an underexplored method for accelerating gender equality and closing critical gaps in information, access, and participation. The deliberate inclusion of women, girls, and those across the gender and sexual identity spectrum brings critical knowledge and skills that increase the potential of ambitious open government reforms. The COVID-19 pandemic has only accentuated the need for these insights as the epidemic continues to reveal a host of longstanding inequities in social services, government programs, access to digital resources, along with specific data collection and transparency needs. More inclusive open government policy and recovery efforts have the opportunity to help governments rebuild better institutions and address ongoing systemic barriers to equality through open policies and practices.

    Measuring the availability of data for development through the global data barometer
    (2022-01) Fumega, Silvana; Grossman, Nicolas; Chawana, Fiona; Zamora, David
    This project developed the Global Data Barometer (GDB) which tracks the use and reuse of data, focusing on governance, capabilities, availability and use and impacts of data that enable better governance, economic growth, and social inclusion. With a network of 109 countries, 6 thematic partners and 12 regional and country hubs, the survey covers more than 500 data points. It takes a broad look at the extent to which national and sectoral data ecosystems around the world are promoting data for the public good. During 2020 the team worked to refine overall study objectives, leading to a draft Theory of Change.

    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.

    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.

    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.
