Better measurement and monitoring of data for development

Abstract

The performance indexes and assessment tools included in this analysis were selected by Open Data Watch after a review of possible candidates and consultations with other index or tool producers. To ensure their relevance and comparability to the GDB, only indexes and tools applicable to government data in multiple sectors were included. Assessment tools that are currently in use and performance indexes that have at least one edition available since 2019 were included in the research inventory. Seven performance indexes provide cross-country comparisons using a numeric score, while five assessment tools enable countries or organizations to conduct assessments of government data and statistical systems based on qualitative and quantitative measures. All indexes and tools included in the inventory seek to measure some element of data governance, availability, quality, openness, or use and impact.
