Open Data at the World Bank Making international development data open & easy to understand

Signaling the most aggressive open data push in the international development community to date, World Bank President Robert Zoellick launched Data.WorldBank.org in April 2010. After years of charging for access, the World Bank made 2,000+ data indicators open and freely available to the public. As part of this initiative we worked with their data and external communications teams to design the Data.WorldBank.org website as an accessible, user-friendly data browser to let the public explore key indicators from the newly opened data.
