Data Responsibility Working Group (DRWG)

The Data Responsibility Working Group (DRWG) is a global coordination body working to advance data responsibility across the humanitarian system.

Active

Since 2020

The Hague, Netherlands

It brings together a diverse group of stakeholders including United Nations (UN) entities, other International Organizations (IOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and other stakeholders engaged in the coordination and implementation of humanitarian action. The DRWG began as an Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Sub-Group in 2020 and transitioned into a system-wide working group in early 2021. The primary aim of the DRWG is to coordinate, support, and monitor collective action on data responsibility, primarily through the lens of the IASC Operational Guidance on Data Responsibility in Humanitarian Action released in February 2021.
