DataKind and partners created the Data Observation Toolkit (DOT) to ensure frontline health systems have high-quality, trusted, and actionable data—because data-driven decisions depend on data trust. We're honored that Georgetown University's Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation included DOT in their 50 Selected Digital Public Goods (DPGs) in Government Use. This landscape guides governments on leveraging DPGs to enhance public services and citizen engagement, with findings presented at the OpenForum Academy Symposium hosted by the Digital Data Design (D^3) Institute at Harvard (D^3).
