Play one: Explore the problem and how data can address it

Successful data access initiatives are underpinned by a clearly defined vision that outlines the impact leaders want to achieve in a specific community, market or region. By improving access to data and involving stakeholders across the initiative’s activities, organisations leading these initiatives are better prepared to address complex challenges and produce desired outcomes. Exploring the role of data within the problem can help you achieve this impact.

Having a clearly defined problem to be addressed by improving access to data and tackling a specific social, environmental or economic challenge will help focus your activities, communicate your vision to funders, and mobilise the resources and people needed to build or strengthen data infrastructure.
