IFPRI has developed open data tools and portals to improve the delivery of impact from open data in agriculture and nutrition. Their Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) program collects data on agricultural research investment and capacity in developing countries through institutional surveys. ASTI makes this data openly available online through interactive tools that allow users to compare indicators across countries, access detailed country profiles, and download datasets. These tools help ensure ASTI's findings better inform policymaking by facilitating access and analysis of indicators on topics like R&D spending, staffing, and research focus areas.

Data for Humans
We believe that every organization deserves to have its data projects delivered in a modern, well-executed, and predictable way.
LIBERATE YOUR DATA
At Seabourne we partner with our clients to design solutions that deliver business value to data-intensive organizations across many industries (government, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, non-profit, energy, and more).
DATA VISUALIZATION
Seabourne turns complex data into insight-rich information tools for you, your organization, or millions of public users. We use an array of proven pre-built modules making interactive data visuals highly customizable as well cost-effective compared to pre-built vendor and built-from-scratch tools. See DataDash for more details.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Modern organizations use software to organize their operations and to capture their proprietary processes. Such data-intensive software applications organize, analyze, and automate business processes. We build products and solutions for our clients that leverage the value of their data and rationalize their proprietary processes.
DATA INTEGRATION
Organizations can only reap the benefits of software when the data they need is easily accessible. We make data accessible to our clients and their favorite applications (business intelligence, CRM, business software, websites, APIs, and more) by integrating, enriching, migrating, cleansing, publishing and liberating data sources of all types.

Through this project, the research team will leverage the computing resources and expertise at UT to develop a “data discovery environment” for transportation data to aid decision-making. Many efforts focus on leveraging transportation data to help travelers make decisions, but less thought has gone into a framework for using big data to help transportation agency staff and decision makers. The team will start by building the DDE for the Central Texas region, in collaboration with the local MPO, the City of Austin, and the local transit agency. Initially, the project will focus on creating more meaning from existing data sources, and as the project progresses, it will grow to include more novel data sources and methods. The data platform will be web-based and part of the research includes not only building the tool but developing appropriate protocols for access and governance.

Sharing open data and capacity development experiences from RCMRDgodanSec
Earth observation data plays a critical role in building resilience to climate change as well as reporting on sustainable development goals (SDG’s). There are new opportunities to use open data in earth observation such as Landsat and the Sentinel data. Modern day farming relies on weather information in order to plan ahead of extreme weather conditions such as drought and floods. In addition, there is need to invest in hydromet services to build resilience to climate change and help citizens with accurate weather forecasts.
In this webinar, Dr Kenneth Mubea (the Capacity Development Lead) at the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) shares some of the experiences and projects that RCMRD are involved in various open data initiatives in Agriculture. RCMRD’s mission is to promote sustainable development using earth observation and thus SDG’s. RCMRD is an inter-governmental organization established in 1975 (Nairobi, Kenya) and currently has 20 Contracting Member States in the Eastern and Southern Africa Regions.

This webinar highlights the importance of identifying and involving different stakeholder groups and sectors to ensure an inclusive and collaborative process to develop open data strategies and policies. It will explore questions such as “How do you convince someone to open their data?” and “How to you put an effective policy in place?”
In this webinar, we look at how you obtain and use open data, the key role of search engines and how you establish rust in the data you find. The webinar will also look at the quality of data and how to clean and prepare data for analysis. Finally, the session will look at how you can quickly visualise cleaned data and the applications of this in the agriculture sector.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Editor's Notes
The goal of the Open Data Initiative is to magnify the potential impact of IFPRI research by widely disseminating in a timely fashion to researchers, policy makers, and public at large.
IFPRI data is used by a variety of audiences. Students, researchers, faculty, policy makers and organizations from across the globe are using IFPRI data. Here is a partial list of the various organizations that have downloaded the IFPRI datasets from the Dataverse network. Though most of the downloads are from the universities, several downloads are from policy making and policy shaping organizations. As indicated in the graphic here, IFPRI datasets are being downloaded thousands of times each year.
