f open data for agriculture & nutrition and to engage

with it practically

SLIDE 3

Open data as a solution

GODAN Action works along thematic topics

to focus on domains of high relevance, where the

impact of open data is foreseen to be substantial

to put research into practice and achieve impact
to develop an approach that is portable
Climate and weather data: Open data as a catalyst for

business development and capacity development

Land data: Localization and privacy, and grass roots to

aggregator impacts

Nutrition data: Data interoperability for nutrition

SLIDE 4

Standards & interoperability

Supports data publishers and intermediaries

– To engage with standards for optimal reuse – To encourage co-development of added value services

Comes with a helpdesk for open data

publishers, intermediaries and end users

Currently piloting

– Helping specific projects and initiatives with the implementation of standards and the improvement of interoperability

SLIDE 5

Impact evaluation

Covers all stages of an open data initiative
Specifically aimed at open data in a

developing context

Applied in open weather data cases (Ethiopia

and Bangladesh, 3 case studies)

Impact narratives
Short term: awareness, better project

designs

Long term: sustainable open data ecosystems

SLIDE 6

Capacity Building

Face-to-face training

– 200+ trained so far, train the trainer approach – Mini-grants to catalyse uptake

On-line course (MOOC)

– Low level, highly scalable and adaptable – 1000+ trained so far

Clear signs that this is broadly taken up

locally

– Including linkage to interoperability and impact evaluation

SLIDE 7

Catalysed the networking and the forming of

partnerships

Allowed building critical mass on open data in

existing networks

Advanced the thinking on open data and engaging

with open data

Has lead or contributes to numerous new

initiatives

Allowed us to contribute to creating impact
Feeds into activities of Wageningen UR data
