# Data Pop Alliance #  Data Pop Alliance is a collaborative laboratory created by the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, MIT Connection Science, and Overseas Development Institute. We bring together researchers, experts, practitioners, and activists to change the world with data through three pillars of work: diagnosing local realities and human problems with data and AI; mobilizing capacities, communities, and ideas towards more data literate societies, and transforming the systems and processes that underpin our societies and countries At DPA we strive to "Change the World with Data". We believe that under the correct theory of change, data can have a positive and deeply transformative effect on our societies. Firstly, we must keep using data as a lens through which clearer, fairer, and more relevant evidence on the state and workings of the world are produced and widely shared. Secondly, we must continue building - within and between countries and geographies - the skills, norms, and trust required for facts to matter and to nurture more respectful and reasoned discourse and decision-making processes. Thirdly, we must push for new values and goals to be encoded into rules and standards - technological, legal, ethical, cultural - which are able to ensure more equitable structures and withstand future shocks.
