Abstract
This working paper presents initial literature review and research design work carried out from June 2012 to March 2013 in order to inform the development of the Exploring the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries programme. The programme, funded by IDRC and managed by the World Wide Web Foundation, will carry out research over 2013 - 2014. This framework will be refined based on the results and debates emerging from the project.
