Feb 29, 2020

These are key highlights from the publication “Data in Action” which consolidates the findings of the natural resources data assessments conducted in: Colombia, Ghana, Mongolia, and Peru by the From Disclosure to Development (D2D) program. It describes key challenges and makes recommendations to industry, governments, and civil society that help bridge the existing data gaps and unlock data-enabled opportunities in the natural resources sector. The report aims to help better understand 1) the most pressing information needs of communities, 2) available data sets that can help address their concerns, and 3) the concrete entry points for multi-stakeholder collaboration that that can facilitate disclosure for development impact.

The publication is part of a series of knowledge products by IFC’s From Disclosure to Development program. Two other publications in the series are Unlocking Data Innovation for Social License in Natural Resources and Transparency for Impact.
