Using Data Sharing to Improve Coordination in Peacebuilding: Report of a Workshop by the National Academy of Engineering and United States Institute of Peace Roundtable on Technology, Science, and Peacebuilding.

摘要

The capacity of technologies to gather, sort, and manage data has undergone rapid advances. Yet coordination among government and nongovernment actors in peacebuilding remains a challenge, largely because of the human factors involved in data sharing. Once shared, data can no longer be controlled, and so the problem is not technical but a matter of trust. That trust is based on the capacity to negotiate shared goals, processes, and values for cooperation. The first session of the workshop discussed the ethical, cultural, and social obstacles faced by peacebuilding organizations in adopting technologies to break down the information silos in which they work.
