Creating Public Value by Exchanging Data

The GovLab is advancing a number of initiatives focused on increasing our understanding of data collaboratives. The hub of this work, DataCollaboratives.org, is a resource on creating public value by exchanging data, collecting examples of data collaboratives from around the world, and providing information on how to develop and implement a data collaborative. The site, and the GovLab’s work on the topic in general, seeks to provide insight on how the responsible exchange of corporate data can improve people’s lives.

CrowdLaw

Develop recommendations on how to use crowdlaw to improve the quality of lawmaking. We want to explore when and under what circumstances engagement can result in lawmaking that is either more legitimate, more effective or both.

Crowdlaw is an emerging field of practice that is comprised of lawyers, platform developers, lawyers, government employees and research scientists, among others including citizen advocates. GovLab plays a convening role to engage practitioners from around the world and has initiated a dialogue in order to identify case studies and pilots, assess impact and inspire greater innovation across political, government and civil society actors.

Responsible Data for Children

Provides guidance, tools and leadership to support the responsible handling of data for and about children.

The Responsible Data for Children initiative aims to fill an important gap and to provide actionable insight, tools, and guidance on how responsible data practices can provide benefits (and avoid harms) for children around the world. .
