openwashdata received another round of funding to continue working on their vision to establish an active global community that applies FAIR principles to data generated in the greater WASH sector. What are the goals? How will we achieve them?
This month, we're thrilled to spotlight Joseph Lwere and Phaniwa Zié Zoumana Coulibaly, the collectors and curators of the ugabore and saniabidjan data packages. Joseph and Phaniwa shared their datasets after completing the capstone project in our "Data Science for openwashdata" course. Their hard work and enthusiasm have added incredible value to our community. Thanks, Joseph and Phaniwa, for your awesome contribution and inspiring motivation!
We believe the openwashdata project prospers when we have YOU work together and promote open science and data practice! No matter what background you are from, we come up with some ways for you to get involved:
