# Ghana Open Data Initiative #  It is a platform to ensure public accessibility of all data which we collect, subject to ensuring that we consider the privacy rights of individuals. Our initiative supports (i) better governance and delivery of public services attributable to more evidence-based decision-making, higher levels of information sharing, and increased transparency; (ii) socio-economic development attributable to reuse of open data and innovation, insights gained by combing open data with other data sources.
