The World Bank recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to the development process and central to achieving the Bank’s mission to alleviate poverty. As a knowledge institution, the World Bank’s first step is to share its knowledge freely and openly.

3. Open Data for Resilience Initiative (OpenDRI)
The Open Data for Resilience Initiative (OpenDRI) is a global partnership that aims to encourage and facilitate the sharing and use of climate, disaster and other geospatial data to enable more effective decision-making by providing the rationale, technical assistance, and tools for data sharing.

4. Building resilience and better decision-making
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC ) region is one of the most vulnerable region with respect to natural disasters
About 20 countries in LAC region has half of the GDP exposed to natural disasters
Damages due to natural hazards happen because of HOW and WHERE we build
The key component in decision making is using (geospatial) data in decision making process
