Openness I - Open Data

May 2016

Broken Toilets’ latest Issue, Open Data, is the first in a series that will examine openness in global development. With the data revolution playing an integral role in the Global Goals, movements promoting open data will only gain momentum in the coming years. We take a wide look at the groups behind open data initiatives and what it takes to make data truly meaningful.
