Accessing Open Data or Government Information remains a challenge for citizens, civil society organizations (CSOs) and the media in Malawi. Government, civil society, media outlets and infomediaries are generally under-equipped to understand how to work with the data they have access to. PROTECT therefore seeks to translate complex data into actionable information for marginalized groups, journalists and civil society.
This strategy is intended for developing Open Data Capacity (ODC) of selected Malawi Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) on the data supply side and selected Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on the demand side in the open data generation, packaging, access and use.
