This session will deliver a panel discussion of USAID initiatives to advance management of development data across a lifecycle, in partnership with the broader development data community. The discussion will highlight the importance of planning for and managing different types of USAID-funded development data (e.g., monitoring, evaluation, geospatial, etc.) across a lifecycle to enhance both data usability and responsible sharing and publication. It will focus on data management practices reflected in policy updates and revisions (e.g, ADS 579, Activity Location Data Mandatory Reference), partner perspectives, current governance and legal efforts and risk management and responsible data frameworks that respond to new Federal data mandates.The panel will emphasize how USAID and the development data community can work together in ways that advance a collective goal of using data to improve development outcomes.
