Open Data

Open data has the potential to impact lives through more effective and transparent

governance, improved government services, better targeted development programs and improved research, science and innovation.

GODAN

“We believe these problems can be, at least in part, solved by better use of open data.

Whilst there are promising examples, we are still in the early days of identifying and

evaluating strategies to make the most of open data in delivering change”

The GODAN approach:

We:

• Convene key actors (WGs, HLMs, Summit)

• Empower – high political, policy advocacy

• Equip (tools, success stories, models, etc)
