Acerca de D4D.net
Una alianza global que aborda nuevas estrategias en el uso de datos para desafíos de desarrollo alrededor del mundo.
D4D.net es una alianza de investigación global que fortalece la cooperación entre socios miembros de la red. Desarrolla y mobiliza el conocimiento necesario para avanzar el uso responsable de datos para abordar desafíos de desarrollo alrededor del Sur Global
La agenda global de D4D está avanzando a una nueva fase. La expansión en el campo de la ciencia de datos puede liderar un incremento en las habilidades de las organizaciones en todos los sectores. La inteligencia artificial en particular, potenciada por los datos, está generando nuevas innovaciones y cambio social transformativo, de maneras positivas y negativas.
Inicia con una premisa simple - El uso responsable de los datos puede ayudarnos a alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), comprender el impacto de la crisis por COVID, o identificar areas clave prioritarias para el desarrollo que puede ser abordado en el futuro. Sin embargo, necesitamos saber más, compartir lo que sabemos, y estar dispuestos a trabajar juntos por el bien común.
Acelerar investigación
Atender una agenda acelerada de investigación que aborda vacíos críticos en la evidencia necesaria para apoyar la toma de decisiones a nivel local, nacional y global, relacionada a los datos para estrategias de desarrollo.
Catalizar acciones
Compartir conocimiento sobre el uso innovador de los datos en áreas prioritarias de desarrollo, tales como equidad de género, salud, cambio climático, educación, seguridad alimentaria, y mucho más.
Dar forma a la agenda
Apoyar a organizaciones basadas en el Sur Global para crear respuestas globales responsables para los desafíos de desarrollo, al traer al frente lecciones del uso de datos, construcción de capacidades y colaboración comunitaria.
D4D.net fue lanzada en 2021 como una iniciativa del Centro de Investigaciones para el Desarrollo Internacional (IDRC)(abre en una nueva pestaña) y está alojado en Research ICT Africa(abre en una nueva pestaña) y ILDA(abre en una nueva pestaña). Construye sobre las actividades de socios de la red alrededor del Sur Global, interesados en fortalecer la colaboración en datos abiertos, IA responsable, big data, derechos de privacidad, propiedad intelectual, ciberseguridad, vigilancia en lína, centros de estadística, etc.
Los recursos disponibles en el sitio representan un esfuerzo colectivo para abordar vacíos en el conocimiento global alrededor del uso de los datos para atender desafíos de desarrollo y el avance democrático, y a su vez, atiende preocupaciones éticas y sociales relacionados al mal uso de los datos.
En esta fase inicial, los objetivos de D4D.net son:
