Beyond the number of applications and professionals in the field, we know little about the competencies and skills that we have in the region in the area of ​​open data and we do not have an accurate knowledge in terms of the capabilities that need to be deepened in order to continue advancing the agenda.

At ILDA we have as one of our main lines of work that of collaborating with the development of a community of practice in Latin America.
