This is a three-part podcast on new data and, particularly, if and how the private and the public sectors should be working together to advance its use for public good.

The expert is World Bank’s Holly Krambeck. She founded the Development Data Partnership – a coalition between international organizations and the private sector to further responsible use of third-party data in international development. This role and the expertise coming from it are key to our conversation today.
The intricacies of the current data landscapes can hardly be overstated, with matters of access, ownership, stewardship, and capacity to engage with new data being on the list. All affect its use in public decision making. This part looks into:
• Key barriers – what are those and how to prioritize;
• Access to data – does the public sector have access to data it needs, is it of the right kind, did COVID-19 teach us anything; and
• Winners and losers – who are those in a system where the demand, from the public sector and beyond, for new data is so high yet the supply is limited to a handful of private companies.
