DataReady

We help you understand, manage and responsibly apply data for social good.

Our mission

The demand for data governance know-how is growing.

DataReady exists to help the sustainable development and humanitarian sectors navigate the complexities of data governance. As a result, we can better understand, apply and track the value that data generates for society as a whole.

Around the world, policymakers are engaged in a balancing act between the benefits of data use, individuals’ rights and ethical considerations. In many parts of the world, principles and laws informed by the public and social conventions are desperately needed to inform this balancing act.

Within private companies, non-governmental and civil society organisations, the need to know how data use should be balanced against possible risks and rights is now a management issue. It requires executive attention and robust data management strategies and policies.

These issues aren’t just important for our clients and partners, but for society as a whole. There is significant potential for data to improve the quality and effectiveness of development and humanitarian support that people receive. Moreover, when properly managed and made accessible, data can help empower people, combat mis- and dis-information, and improve trust in public bodies.
