项目摘要

This strategic network seeks to analyse and respond to three key trends in international development. First, the strong emphasis on accountability and a move towards gathering large amounts of monitoring and evaluation data. Second, the growth of digitalisation and datafication (ie the use of digital tools, technologies and processes to transform organisations and strategic decision-making to being data-driven). New digital technologies are now being used in development practice in numerous cross-cutting ways. Yet there are risks of multiple digital divides and digital exclusions which have to be counter-acted. Third, there are the issues of digital participation. Datafication and digitazation require capacity-building locally to ensure development efforts remain grounded in the priorities of countries and communities of the global South. These trends combine to form a single challenge: how might these increasingly sophisticated and powerful tools of surveillance and analysis be used to empower the marginalised? Advocates of big data and digitalisation see multiple benefits becoming possible because policies can become more data driven, and hence more accurate in their understanding of the problems they tackle. They see many opportunities to engage citizens directly. But critics warn against numerous risks including loss of privacy and the replication of invisibilities and inequalities along geographical, gender, education and class lines that these trends may enhance, rather than diminish.The primary aim of this network is to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D), Data Science and participatory practice to develop an ambitious and innovative research agenda. Non-academic partners and collaborators, Oxfam Digital, UNICEF, the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the global umbrella organisation of mobile phone companies, GSMA, have together pledged over 36 person days to contribute to the co-shaping of this research agenda. They recognise that there is an urgent need for more research and collaboration with academic institutions in this area. We will convene a series of meetings and events in diverse formats to bring together members of the collective under the different priorities we have identified. Altogether some 30 participants will work in four thematic groups: 1: Big Data, "small data" and Data Science to inform progress towards the SDGs2: Participation and value-based design of socio-technological innovation 3: Citizen participation, data science, ICT for peace building. 4: Youth participation and innovative digital methods. Our first aim for these meetings is that they will produce an overarching research agenda and several research programmes as well as research proposals that can be pursued individually or collectively by different members of the collective. The second aim is intensive capacity building. Researchers in partner countries, early career researchers, researchers from different disciplines and those researchers new to research in the global South will all get a chance to expand their research capacity and improve practice.This work fits squarely with all three aspects of compliance with ODA that the ESRC pursues. It is 'for development', because it seeks to solve development challenges faced in the global south over digital development, improving data and participation. It is 'on development', as it entails critical scrutiny of measures which are intended to improve lives and well-being. It is 'as development' as it promotes various forms of individual and institutional capacity building in collaboration with existing and new partners.

这一战略网络力求分析和应对国际发展的三大趋势。第一，大力强调问责制，努力收集大量监测和评价数据。第二，数字化和信息化的增长（即使用数字化工具、技术和流程将组织和战略决策转变为数据驱动）。新的数字技术目前正以多种交叉方式用于发展实践。然而，存在着多重数字鸿沟和数字排斥的风险，必须加以应对。第三，数字化参与的问题。数据化和数字化要求在当地进行能力建设，以确保发展努力始终立足于全球南方国家和社区的优先事项。这些趋势联合收割机构成了一个单一的挑战：如何利用这些日益复杂和强大的监测和分析工具来增强边缘化群体的能力？大数据和数字化的倡导者看到了多种好处，因为政策可以变得更加数据驱动，从而更准确地理解他们所解决的问题。他们看到了许多直接与公民接触的机会。但批评人士警告说，这些趋势可能会加剧而不是减少许多风险，包括隐私的丧失以及不受欢迎和不平等沿着地理、性别、教育和阶级界线的复制。数据科学和参与式实践可制定雄心勃勃且创新的研究议程。非学术合作伙伴和合作者，乐施会数字，联合国儿童基金会，南非科学和工业研究理事会（CSIR）和全球移动的电话公司的伞式组织，GSMA，共同承诺超过36个人日，以促进共同塑造这一研究议程。他们认识到迫切需要在这一领域进行更多的研究和与学术机构的合作。我们将召开一系列不同形式的会议和活动，使集体成员在我们确定的不同优先事项下聚集一堂。共有约30名与会者将在四个专题组工作：1：大数据，“小数据”和数据科学为实现可持续发展目标提供信息2：参与和基于价值的社会技术创新设计3：公民参与，数据科学，ICT促进和平建设。4：青年参与和创新的数字方法。我们举行这些会议的首要目标是，它们将产生一个总体研究议程和若干研究方案，以及可由集体不同成员单独或集体进行的研究提案。第二个目标是加强能力建设。伙伴国家的研究人员、早期职业研究人员、来自不同学科的研究人员以及全球南方的新研究人员都将有机会扩大其研究能力并改进实践。这项工作完全符合ESRC所追求的遵守ODA的所有三个方面。它是“为了发展”，因为它寻求解决全球南方在数字发展、改善数据和参与方面面临的发展挑战。它是“关于发展”的，因为它要求对旨在改善生活和福祉的措施进行严格审查。它是"发展“，因为它与现有和新的伙伴合作，促进各种形式的个人和机构能力建设。
