About CivicDataSpace

CivicDataSpace is a collaborative, open-source platform that goes beyond just making data accessible - it strengthens how data is used, shared, and reused. By bringing together siloed datasets and fragmented resources, it enables turning your data into tools for change. At its core, CivicDataSpace supports the formation of open, sector-specific Data Collaboratives-ecosystems that enable collective intelligence, foster responsible AI solutions, and power civic platforms. These collaboratives aim to make data more inclusive, interoperable, and AI-ready, helping policymakers, researchers, and civil society actors design more effective and sustainable solutions.

The People Behind CivicDataSpace

CivicDataLab (CDL) works at the intersection of data, technology, design and social science to strengthen access to public information, evidence-based decision-making and citizen participation in governance. CDL harnesses the potential of open knowledge movements to strengthen the data-for-public-good ecosystem and enable citizens to engage in matters of public reform. We work closely with governments, non-profits, think-tanks, media houses and universities to enhance their data and technology capacity to better data-driven decision-making at scale.
