Open Data for Development (OD4D) is a global network committed to advancing the understanding, use, and impact of open data. Our projects support critical research and the evolution of open data ecosystems in developing countries in order to spur social change, increase government transparency, and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Currently in phase III, OD4D’s objectives are to facilitate the use of data for improving gender equality and inclusion, good governance and economic growth. Activities aim to foster change by working with multiple stakeholders – governments, civil society, the private sector, and technical experts - and a special focus on working with under-represented communities.
