Open Data is one the most influential and under-appreciated source of impact. Currently, data  collected superficially, as part of a grant deliverables, substantially limited by grantees funding constrains, tech capabilities and motivation. As the result, data is inconsistent, buried inside organisational boundaries and disappears right after grant delivery. Great amount of philanthropic resources are used inefficiently and each new grant in he same direction starts from ground-up.

Data is a highly valuable resource that can serve as a foundation for innovations and breakthroughs. Collecting, processing, and making certain data open can create an ecosystem of social-impact services that make informed decisions, predict better outcomes, and generate significant societal impact. Proprietary data, on the other hand, limits the potential for human progress.

Open data has the potential to transform social problems and improve outcomes by providing transparent access to information. It can enable better decision-making, enhance research capabilities, and foster innovation in areas such as healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability. By democratizing access to data, we can empower communities, drive social change, and promote more equitable development. Open data initiatives can lead to significant societal benefits, including improved public services, greater transparency, and accelerated scientific research. We are confident that multi-stakeholder collaboration and consistency in data collection in targeted areas can increase efficiency of all philanthropic efforts and solve the root causes.
