INFORMATION SHARING APPROACH

Around the world, institutions are maximizing their impact by becoming increasingly transparent.  This follows a fundamental truth: that access to information and data fosters effective collaboration.  At the Golden Change Concerned Youth Forum, we are embracing this reality through a continued commitment to search for opportunities that will help people better understand our priorities and what supports us in our decision making.  

By sharing high quality data, we and our collaborators can better understand the problems we are seeking solutions to while developing more efficient and effective strategies to overcome them. With an open exchange of information and ideas, we can better assess evidence, identify opportunities, build trust and learn for each other’s experiences. 

We will continually refine our approach to information sharing by regularly exploring how we increase access to important information within the GCCYF, while studying other institutional efforts.

OUR APPROACH TO WORK

Strategy. A shared understanding of our strategies has provided interested parties the required information to assess alignment with our goals, core values and objectives. This has strengthen our partnerships and create greater opportunities for collaboration.

Outcomes. Information generated during the course of our activities – in the form of research studies, data sets, evaluation results, investment results and strategy-related analytics – is significant public good. Access to this information is important for accountability, provides valuable learning to the sectors that we support, will facilitate faster and more well-informed decision making, and contributes to achieving the impact we seek.

Financials. Consistency in setting our financial data straight are valuable for clarity, analysis, and accountability. We publish our financial information in ways consistent with open data standards so it has greater value and context.

People. Sharing who we are along with our responsibilities has personalized GCCYF by helping interested parties get to know the people behind our work, facilitate access to information and provide greater opportunities for collaboration.
