The Data Tank is a think and do tank. Our vision means a significant shift in how we think about data, how we access it and what we do with it. We work with people around the world to unlock data’s potential: gathering, accessing, and re-using it responsibly, so we’re all better equipped to tackle the pressing issues of our time.

Priorities as a partner of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data:

Reimagining data stewardship in the AI era is one of our priorities. Responsible data stewardship is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By responsibly managing, using, and reusing data, we can inform policy decisions, improve efficiency, promote equity, and enable innovation. This empowers us to build a more just, sustainable, and prosperous world. Likewise, rethinking data consent is also one of our core priorities. To do so, we believe that building social license, as a participatory process of engaging and negotiating with and gaining the trust and acceptance of communities of how data is being accessed and reused is also key to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
