The 6 International Open Data Principles

We want a world in which governments collect, share, and use well-governed data, to respond effectively and accountably to our most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Since its inception in 2015, the ODC Principles have been adopted by over 170 national and subnational governments from around the world.

Our Focus Areas

We’ve worked on our focus areas as suggested by our Adopters since 2017 and have developed tools to help implement open thematic policies that integrate both supply and demand of data. 

Anti-corruption

Corruption is a network problem involving multiple layers of individuals and organisations. Anti-corruption efforts require a strong understanding of government and connections

Climate Action

Data related to climate is varied according to stakeholders, including civil society, citizens, private sector, and government agencies.

Gender Equality

Gender inequality persists in various sectors, including economic disparities due to the wage gap and the fragmented, limited information in the care economy.

In New Areas

New areas of work we’ve begun to explore to keep abreast with the latest discussions and developments in open data.
