At the GIZ Data Lab we firmly believe that partnering is key. As an integral part of our work we engage with some of the most renowned actors in the data innovation space to co-design and implement initiatives, benefit from each other’s strengths and thus, can have a bigger impact than each of us would be able to achieve individually. Below we list some of the partners with whom we have worked closely over the past months. Many others have contributed to the experiments, the design and overall work of the GIZ Data Lab.
