Balancing the tension between open data and data protection
Major opportunities for open, interoperable and shared data in international development include improved data for monitoring and evaluation and performance management; improved subnational data; creation of data “assets” by different audiences; and re-use and validation of data. However, most of the pros are also cons, and vice versa. For example, open data can improve accountability but it can also increase liability. Tracking personally identifiable information can mean improved transparency but also greater vulnerability.
This blog post from Siobhan Green and Linda Raftree, originally published on ICT Works summarizes a Technology Salon round table discussion on this topic.
