Abstract

Strengthening 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.
