| Summary: | This discussion paper is a product of
the From Disclosure to Development (D2D) program, led by the
sustainable infrastructure advisory team of the
International Finance Corporation (IFC). The program,
launched in 2017, is funded by the BHP Foundation and
implemented in collaboration with the World Bank. The
program’s goal is to enhance benefit sharing with
communities from investment in natural resources through
effective disclosure and data-use practices. D2D develops
and tests new approaches, partnerships, and platforms aimed
at improving the ways in which companies and governments
disclose data, so that communities and other stakeholders
can use it to inform their decisions and actions. To bridge
the information asymmetry in the sector and give voice to
communities, D2D works to improve the disclosure and use of
open data with capacity building, multi-stakeholder
dialogues, and data-driven innovation activities with youth,
infomediaries, and digital entrepreneurs. The D2D program
uses lessons learned from these in-country activities to
contribute to global efforts to improve transparency in the
natural resources sector through more effective disclosure
and use of data. In the coming years, D2D plans to expand to
other countries and infrastructure sectors and to add a
gender data component. |
