Open Data South Africa is encouraging wider use of government data in communities around South Africa for social impact.

It is a joint initiative under the Open Government Partnership by the , , the , , , and the . Since early 2018 we have been adding to a , running community engagements and preparing an updated open data portal to help users find the open data resources they need.

We are encouraging small groups inside and outside of government to explore new applications of (mainly) government data. In this way we hope you are able to better understand what is going on around you and to take action. This toolkit contains advice and links to resources that can be used by students, researchers, activists and entrepreneurs.

A special thanks to GitBook for supporting this initiative with a Community Plan subscription.
