Open data for development (OD4D) node - Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

The Open Data Middle East and North Africa (ODMENA) network placed emphasis on the role of open data in achieving Sustainable Development Goals in the MENA region. From these goals, four themes emerge: Data Skills, Urban Development, Gender, and Policy. ODMENA has contributed to an emerging data ecosystem in the region through working with partners to build and strengthen open data creation and use. The report outlines projects, main objectives and research findings from projects under each node theme. This includes research and planning that guided project design and development. Sample maps and infographic outputs drawn from data are also presented
