The document discusses Botswana's need for a national data policy and open data initiatives. It notes that while data has contributed to Botswana's development, a lack of coordination and data sharing hampers further progress. A steering committee is working to develop a national data policy and increase data access through open data and open science forums. Their goals are to engage stakeholders, conduct a situational analysis, and benchmark open data practices to inform Botswana's first national data policy.

Botswana Open Science Open Data Case Study/Julius Atlhopheng

Botswana has recognized the need to develop an open data and open science initiative to help drive its knowledge economy and support its national development goals. A 2015 assessment found Botswana was ready for an open data initiative. In 2016 and 2017, Botswana held forums and meetings to develop a national action plan and roadmap for open data. Priorities included developing data management infrastructure, building capacity, and creating a national policy on open data and science. Botswana also aims to host the first International Data Week in Africa in 2018 to help address data challenges facing development in Africa.

It defines key terms like open data and open government data. It outlines the policy's objectives, scope, guiding principles, action areas, governance framework, and institutional roles. The objectives are to ensure availability and management of open government data. Action areas include establishing an open data portal and identifying high-value initial datasets. The Ministry of ICT and National Guidance will lead coordination, while other agencies like OPM, UCC and NITA-U will support implementation.

Data sharing for development: a case of Infrastructural development in Uganda...

This document discusses infrastructure data sharing in Uganda. It outlines the benefits of data sharing such as improved infrastructure planning and resilience. However, there are also barriers like insufficient skills, data quality issues, legacy IT systems, and lack of data sharing policies and guidelines. The document proposes a strategic approach to infrastructure data sharing that involves establishing multi-institutional implementation, developing policies and standards, providing training, developing technical infrastructure like a national digital twin, and forming partnerships. The goal is to maximize benefits while mitigating risks and tradeoffs of wider data sharing.

This document summarizes a case study investigating the use of Nigeria's online national budget data. A research team from the University of Ilorin analyzed budget data published by the Nigerian government since 2007. The goals of the study are to understand how the public engages with the national budget, assess media coverage of the budget, and identify challenges to using open budget data. The methodology includes surveys of government institutions, stakeholders, and media analysis of newspaper coverage and online discussions around the 2013 budget. The research aims to explore how open budget data can drive better governance in Nigeria.

Drt discussion highlights

The document summarizes key takeaways from a discussion on how open data could contribute to poverty eradication in Kenya and Uganda. There are several main points: 1) Open data can help with resource allocation and poverty reduction by providing statistics on services, access, and demand. Data needs to be more accessible and relevant to needs. 2) Technological advances in both countries provide opportunities to increase data access and awareness, while demographic and cultural shifts also support more open data. 3) While some government data is collected, it often goes unused. More needs to be done to transform data into usable information to support development goals.

Supporting Scientific Research for Sustainable Development Goals in Africa/S...

This document summarizes a presentation about supporting scientific research for sustainable development goals in Africa. It discusses the 17 UN sustainable development goals adopted in 2015, including ending poverty and tackling climate change by 2030. Monitoring and leveraging open data partnerships are critical to achieving these goals. However, more high-quality, standardized, and accessible data is still needed, especially regarding underrepresented groups. The presentation calls for increased leadership, coordination, and investment in scientific research capacity and open data policies in Africa to help meet development goals.

Uptake and Utilization of Open Data
