Detail Data
Our aim is to develop the ability of the voluntary and community sector to use data effectively to create and enhance social, economic and environmental value.
The Detail Data project is a BIG Lottery NI funded partnership between NICVA and The Detail investigative journalism website.
The project will deliver training and provide advice and support to the sector in its use of data, in particular open data (data that is free to use, reuse and share). If you need help with data please get in touch!
The open data portal will act as a central resource for accessing and using data sources in support of the development of data-based services and technologies.
