Hi all, I just wanted to flag the launch of an open discussion on ‘responsible transparency’, which will run until Friday 22 October here on IATI Connect.
Given the recent change of authorities in Afghanistan and Myanmar, a conversation about the balance between transparent and open development cooperation data and ‘doing no harm’ to implementing partners, including how data publishers are moving to edit, anonymize or otherwise restrict their open development cooperation data, has recently been gaining steam. As such, the time is ripe for a discussion on ‘responsible transparency’ more generally, but also in regards to implications for IATI and its community of publishers.
It is particularly interesting for this group that not only is responsible for their own publications, but also in setting guidelines and expectations on your agreement partners. @Pelle already raised the question in his recent mail to you all and I would really appreciate if you would jump into the discussion here: https://iaticonnect.org/Responsible-Transparency-Discussion
This engagement will feed into a dedicated session at the forthcoming IATI Virtual Community Exchange (12-13 October 2021) as well as further work to define the implications of sensitive data within IATI. For further context, please read this background paper and share your views on the guiding questions before Friday October 22nd. A summary of discussions will also be made available at the end of the commenting period. Thank you in advance for your engagement on this important topic!
