Open Data • Transparency • Innovation for the Public Good

International Open Data Day is observed globally in early March (often aligning with 5th March) to promote the importance of open, accessible, and reusable data in building transparent, inclusive, and innovative societies.

Data becomes powerful
when it is open, understandable, and shared responsibly.

only when it is shared and understood.
