Data2X Transition Team

As of May 1, 2026, Data2X has joined Open Data Watch (ODW) as part of a new strategic partnership to advance gender data globally. Building on a long-standing collaboration, the transition will integrate Data2X’s programs, knowledge assets, and workstreams into ODW’s broader data systems efforts to help drive greater use and impact of gender data in decision-making.
