Issue

Governments, international institutions, NGOs and private companies hold vast quantities of data that could be utilised to support development, democratic accountability and economic growth.

However, these resources are often difficult to access and, if accessible, are generally in non-digital formats, under restrictive terms and conditions or costly to access.

Project

The Open Data HIVE project aims to act as a data innovation intermediary. It will provide activists, entrepreneurs and researchers – as well as government accountability champions - with the space and knowledge resources to develop, prototype and test their ideas for data-driven solutions for specific social, economic and political challenges.

Open Data Lab will support individuals and organisations interested in harnessing the power of data, and guide and mentor them in efforts to increase access, analysis, understanding, interpretation and dissemination of data.
