ABOUT ONE DATA 

ONE Data is an initiative of the ONE Campaign focused on transforming how public finance and development data is accessed and used. Our vision is a world where information asymmetries are collapsed and high-quality, evidence-based decisions lead to greater economic opportunity and healthier lives. Our mission is to organise the world’s public finance and development data and make it universally accessible and useful - collapsing the time from raw data to actionable insight.
