Open Data in Closed Countries: the Sudan Evidence Base Program
The Sudan Evidence-Base Program (EBP), a partnership among the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), and the World Bank, aims to improve the use of data for decision-making in Sudan through targeted and sustainable capacity building.
In order to make the program relevant to participants and instantly useful, the curricula and exercises focus on Sudan-specific data, gathered from various ministries and international organizations.
Recognizing that good policies are developed when communities, as well as government, can evaluate data and facts, the EBP brings together policy influencers and implementers from government and non-government organizations. The cohorts kicked off in January and will gather for training a week out of every month through October 2016.
This Brown Bag Lunch will feature key EBP data literacy contributors Eva Constantaras (Advisor, Internews) and Harshil Parikh (Co-Founder, Tuva), who will join Program Lead, Craig Hammer (World Bank) and Co-Lead Sandra Moscoso (World Bank) in sharing the nuts and bolts of building a sustained capacity-building program.
*Light snack will be provided.
