Open Data Kosovo (ODK) is a pioneering civic-tech non-governmental organization in Kosovo established as a foundation on October 9th, 2014. Committed to fostering a culture of transparency and innovation, ODK actively engages in data collection, analysis, and advocacy, with a primary focus on leveraging data governance to drive informed decision-making, promote transparent governance, and optimize institutional processes in Kosovo.
We contribute to the development of a local and vibrant tech scene. By working as a lab that provides mentorship and training programs, we engage local software developers and help build a community around the use of nascent and enabling technologies to develop apps for social good with Kosovo’s open data.
