"A Framework for Data Sharing in Practice, Part II, is a collective outcome document from two meetings held in 2017, one in New York in May and a follow-up in Copenhagen in December. The meetings were held with support from OCHA’s Centre for Humanitarian Data. The objective of these meetings was t ... o develop a framework for data sharing by which the humanitarian community can facilitate safe, responsible, and purposeful data and information sharing for stronger humanitarian response and protection outcomes. The December meeting brought together practitioners and thinkers from HHI, NRC, Netherlands Red Cross, IRC, IOM, WFP, JIPS, DRC, OCHA, ProCap, ICRC, UNICEF, and UNHCR who worked to further refine key elements of the Framework for Data Sharing in Practice. The first part of this document is a report on the discussions and agreement arising out of the December working meeting as well as the collaborative review of this document. The second part of this document presents the results of this work, offering the Framework for Data Sharing in Practice (hereafter the ‘Framework’). The document concludes with an annex on ‘Shared Definitions and Concepts’ which defines a minimum set of terms required to support a normative discussion on data and information sharing."
