The Mohn Westlake Foundation is pleased to support Connected by Data, a campaign to give communities affected by the collection and use of data a powerful say in decisions about data to create a just, equitable and sustainable world.

The Mohn Westlake Foundation will be providing a year-long unrestricted £100k grant, to help Connected by Data achieve its aim to put collective interests at the heart of decisions about how data is collected, used and shared.

Connected by Data’s work has three main strands. First, it is developing a compelling narrative and shaping the public conversation about data to recognise its collective impacts.

Second, Connected by Data is developing good practices and a community of practitioners who lead and support deliberative and participatory data governance activities.

Finally, the organisation is providing evidence-based public policy recommendations and language to create a regulatory environment that enables and encourages collective and participatory data governance approaches.
