The goal of the International Open Data Charter is to foster greater coherence and collaboration for the increased adoption and implementation of shared open data principles, standards, and good practices across sectors around the world. The Charter is a set of agreed-upon open data Principles, based on the G8 Open Data Charter, and officially launched on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015 with funding from Omidyar Network, IDRC, and others.

With generous support from the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, the Campaign to End Pediatric HIV/AIDS (CEPA) focused on overcoming policy and implementation bottlenecks to scaling up prevention of parent-to-child transmission (PPTCT+) and pediatric diagnosis, treatment, and care programs in six focus countries in sub-Saharan Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Nigeria, and Mozambique. Innovations for Scaling Impact, between 2009 and 2011, developed monitoring systems and conducted an external evaluation of the project. As one member of that evaluation team, I focused my work on designing and building a user-centered communications platform that supported real-time virtual engagement across network partners, generated a dynamic knowledge base of effective practices, and further supported the advocacy efforts of the network partners. I was the lead designer and developer of an online, web-based shared electronic platform for data reporting.
