Enhancing Access to Micro-Data in the Middle East and North Africa
Greater transparency and accountability has been one of the core issues behind the current upheavals in the region. Similarly, lack of or inability to gain access to data has been a long standing complaint by local and international agencies and organizations. This state of affairs makes it difficult to design good policies and to put together indicators to hold governments and others accountable. This Arab World brief looks at the current state-of-play in terms of access to data as well as measures to improve the situation.
