Responsible Data for Children

The RD4C initiative is a joint endeavor between UNICEF at Chief Data Office and The GovLab at New York University to highlight and support best practice in our work; identify challenges and develop practical tools to assist practitioners in evaluating and addressing them; and encourage a broader discussion on actionable principles, insights, and approaches for responsible data management.

The work is intended to address practical considerations across the data lifecycle, including routine data collection and one-off data collections; and compliments work on related topics being addressed by the development community such as guidance on specific data systems and technologies, technical standardization, and digital engagement strategies.

Additional tools and materials are coming soon and will be posted on this website as they become available. Visit our website regularly for updates.
