GODAN is an initiative that seeks to support global efforts to make data relevant to agriculture and nutrition available, accessible, and usable for unrestricted use worldwide.

The GODAN Secretariat will drive and deliver a range of key activities that uncovers what great work is going on today in the field of open data in agriculture, food and nutrition, communicating globally so as many people as possible understand its value, and advocate with key people which should in turn generate more open data initiatives.

This exciting role represents an unparalleled opportunity to contribute to achieving global food and nutrition security by changing the way that data are used within the agricultural and nutritional sector.
