Research objectives
1. To explore how open data improve governance, support citizens’ rights, and promote more inclusive development in developing countries;
2. To support knowledge sharing, policy learning and evaluation based on, and feeding into, the developing research findings;
3. To develop and test common methods for assessing the context, and the strengths and weaknesses, of open data initiatives over time;
4. To identify how global standards, platforms and infrastructures for open data impact upon the use of open data in developing countries;

Intermediaries
•Intermediaries help translate open data to usable information by the public
•For instance the Dredger Project by Internews Kenya, which is a portal for journalists to download data that is packaged in a user-friendly way for use in telling data-driven stories.
