  • Description: To harness and accelerate the value of data for development, new mechanisms and partnerships to access and reuse data that have already been collected will need to be established. Data collaboration is a cost-effective and innovative way to multiply the development impact of data. By combining and triangulating data from various sources, data collaboratives can generate new insights and overcome data inequalities. Establishing and operationalising structures and frameworks for responsible use and reuse of data, including addressing concerns about data misuse, should be an urgent priority to truly unlock the promise of digital data for development. Key messages * Developing countries can offset their limited resources and data capacity through data-collaboration and data reuse partnerships. * Unless concerns about data misuse and privacy are addressed, data collaboration will not reach its full potential to inform and advance development. * Development actors and other stakeholders should help develop data governance frameworks that balance risk and rewards of data use and reuse and engage the public in creating accountability mechanisms. * Development co-operation can support data capacity building, expanded digital literacy and processes to better identify needs and priorities for data reuse.
