Data-Pop Alliance is a global non-profit think-and-do tank that collaborates with researchers, data scientists, practitioners, policymakers, and activists to harness data and AI for social good. Its work centers on three pillars: diagnosing local realities and human challenges through data and AI; mobilizing capacities, communities, and ideas toward data-literate societies; and transforming the systems and processes that shape our societies. The organization is based in New York and was founded in 2013 by MIT Media Lab, the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, and ODI, with registrations in the USA, Mexico, France, and Senegal. It operates within the non-profit sector focused on data for social development, serving governments, nonprofits, and research partners seeking data-informed insights to guide interventions. In February 2023, Data-Pop Alliance launched WIND-MEAL in partnership with ADE, illustrating its engagement in collaborative projects that apply data-driven approaches to social issues. The organization functions as a global network that connects researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and communities to advance data literacy and systemic change.
