Recent years have witnessed considerable speculation about the
potential of open data to bring about wide-scale transformation.
The bulk of existing evidence about the impact of open data,
however, focuses on high-income countries. Much less is known about
open data’s role and value in low- and middle-income countries, and
more generally about its possible contributions to economic and
social development. Open Data for Developing Economies features
in-depth case studies on how open data is having an impact across
the developing world-from an agriculture initiative in Colombia to
data-driven healthcare projects in Uganda and South Africa to
crisis response in Nepal. The analysis built on these case studies
aims to create actionable intelligence regarding: (a) the
conditions under which open data is most (and least) effective in
development, presented in the form of a Periodic Table of Open
Data; (b) strategies to maximize the positive contributions of open
data to development; and (c) the means for limiting open data’s
harms on developing countries.
