Data Transparency Panel at ICT4D Conference
Join Abby Clobridge (Founder, FireOak Strategies) and Kait Maloney (Catholic Relief Services) for a discussion on organizational considerations for data transparency and information security at the ICT4D Conference.
As data transparency becomes a greater focus within international development and humanitarian aid, organizations must balance transparency goals with operational clarity and information security.
- How do organizations balance confidentiality and privacy with increasing expectations for open data and transparency?
- What strategies ensure sensitive information remains protected until intentionally shared or published?
- How does open data influence various types of organizational information—project, program, and administrative—and what must remain confidential?
- What technical and governance controls are essential for data protection prior to public release?
- How can organizations foster buy-in and internal support for data transparency initiatives?
- What are the significant challenges to operationalizing data transparency?
Panel moderated by Forrest Wilhoit, Senior Program Manager at NetHope.
