The Global Data Barometer (GDB) is an assessment tool that measures how effectively countries are fostering healthy data ecosystems. It examines the infrastructure, processes, and strategies needed to ensure that data serves the public good, providing a detailed view of governance, data availability, and ecosystem capabilities that underscore data’s role in our society.
Data Against Feminicide (DCF) is a South-North participatory action research and design project that supports the work of activists and civil society organizations that produce data on gender-related violence and its most lethal expression: feminicide.
Datatesting (Kings College London): co-developing computational methods for socially evaluating public data infrastructures.
Through a series of studios, the project explores how interdisciplinary methods complement the work of the Global Data Barometer.
The Global Data Barometer was awarded in 2026 the Datafication and Democracy Fund following a highly competitive process with over 80 proposals from across the Global South.
The project will examine gaps between formal data governance commitments and the actual availability, usability, and interoperability of data needed for public oversight. .
