Data Responsibility in Public-Private Partnerships

The Centre for Humanitarian Data has developed a Guidance Note on Data Responsibility in Public-Private Partnerships to support humanitarians and their private-sector counterparts in designing responsible partnerships. The Centre for Humanitarian Data developed this note in collaboration with the Connecting Business Initiative and the World Economic Forum.

The Centre for Humanitarian Data recommends five steps for improving data responsibility in public-private partnerships: 

1. Develop shared goals
2. Conduct robust due diligence
3. Conduct a risk-benefit assessment
4. Structure partnerships through appropriate agreements
5. Design technology responsibly
