Research objectives

1.To explore how open data improve governance, support citizens’ rights, and promote more inclusive development in developing countries;

2.To support knowledge sharing, policy learning and evaluation based on, and feeding into, the developing research findings;

3.To develop and test common methods for assessing the context, and the strengths and weaknesses, of open data initiatives over time;

4.To identify how global standards, platforms and infrastructures for open data impact upon the use of open data in developing countries;
