🌐 Examples
Following productive workshops with mobile network operators and the Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority, Statistics Botswana was able to develop a detailed project concept note outlining a collaborative framework for utilizing operator data. This concept note, informed by stakeholder feedback, addresses critical aspects such as data needs, benefits for all parties, data governance, and security measures, and proposes a timeline for project implementation. The note serves as a transparent foundation for further discussions and the development of formal data sharing agreements for the partnership between Statistics Botswana and the operators.
❗Tips
✅ Clearly mark the project proposal as a draft, to be agreed upon by all parties, and provide opportunities for feedback and suggestions.
✅ If discussions at the technical workshop addressed all topics in the project proposal, you should have a clear idea of which points are in agreement and which ones require more consideration.
⏩ Next actions
Prepare the concept note immediately after the workshops with mobile network operators.
Prepare the accompanying letter to mobile network operators.
Arrange the concept note to be sent by the head of the NSO to the executives of the major stakeholders, most importantly the mobile network operators.
- Identify the critical points in the concept note that require further discussion as agenda items for the meeting between the NSO and mobile network operators in the next step (See Section 2.3).
