Abstract

The chapter addresses the open data initiatives. The openness of data translates into the ease of access to information for the citizen. This chapter discusses the current status of, and recent evolution in, open data with the emphasis on open government data in the African data communities based on the findings of the Africa Open Data Barometer and the Africa Open Data Index. It addressed issues on the process of transforming national data ecosystems to a state where data from both conventional and new sources are being harnessed to inform decision-making better and enable sustainable development.
