Dear colleagues,


On behalf of the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN), it
is my pleasure to invite you to join our next webinar on 20th March 2019.
Details below.

This webinar will discuss an open data evaluation framework that focuses on
process and outcome oriented evaluation of open data initiatives, with an
emphasis on earlier stage assessment, as this offers better options to
design new and, monitor and steer ongoing initiatives. Open data efforts
often do not follow a clear methodology to assess their impact.
Nevertheless, insight into the (potential) impact of open data is key - to
monitor and improve the performance of open data initiatives, to assess the
effectiveness of funding and demonstrate their value, and to learn how to
best achieve impact under local conditions when developing new
interventions. The GODAN Action methodology for impact evaluation combines
elements already identified by other methods whilst also taking account of
newer perspectives, such as the political economy of ecosystems where open
data initiatives are being implemented.
