: Civic Data Lab

The Civic Data Lab is a joint initiative of the German Informatics Society, CorrelAid, and the German Caritas Association – funded as a Civic Coding anchor project by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women, and Youth. The Civic Data Lab supports organized and non-organized actors in civil society to better achieve common-good-oriented goals through the use of data – by collecting, organizing, and structuring their data, analyzing and linking it, reusing it for their target groups, making it available to others, and supplementing it with available data. Data ABOUT people is reused FOR them. BY civil society, FOR civil society. For the common good. By and for EVERYONE. (Source: https://civic-data.de/)

This data project was a collaborative effort between the Civic Data Lab (CDL) and CorrelAid, one of the CDL's consortium partners. Together, they undertook the project's conception and implementation with the help of external service providers. The goal was to address some of the key data challenges faced by participating organizations, encouraging civic engagement in the process.

Through the initiative, the team aimed to gather insights and provide recommendations to help the organizations better understand their community's needs. A dedicated blog post offers further information on the participating organization, their data challenges, and the project's approach and outcomes.
