On 7 April 2016, the Deputy Minister of Public Service and Administration, Ayanda Dlodlo, will host the South African Open Government Partnership (OGP) Open Data Project Seminar in Pretoria. It is a platform where experts from the UK will share and exchange knowledge with relevant South African stakeholders on open data. Open data is increasingly seen as an enabler for improving access to services, and service delivery by front-line officials by establishing open data platforms and running focused open data challenges to address specific service delivery needs. Open data is data that can be freely used, shared and built-on by anyone, anywhere, for any purpose.
