Welcome to the second episode of RD4C Bites, RD4C’s ongoing series of short video interviews in which we highlight lessons and experience from data-focused practitioners on the responsible handling of data of and for children.

In this episode our team interviews Rositsa Zaimova, partner at Dalberg Data Insights (a division of Dalberg Global Development Advisors), to learn more about the lessons and experience of working with data ecosystem approaches in the humanitarian and development space.

In the video above, Rosita discusses the types of data Dalberg Data Insights handles, facilitators and barriers to responsible data practice, as well as ongoing efforts to continue to support responsible use of data of and for children.

Key Takeaways:

• Building ecosystems of data users, data communities, and data governance frameworks and tools facilitates the sustainable and responsible leveraging of data; 

• Attracting data science talent to the development space is an ongoing challenge; and

• Data is ultimately an enabler for solving challenges, not the end goal itself; always seek to first investigate the challenges, then determine how best to use data accordingly.
