Dear Correspondents
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What has been described in the various letters is a process that has become clearer over the years, and which is now well documented. Together with several colleagues (Kenya, Botswana, Senegal) I have been doing some work for the African Science
Granting Councils (19 African States) that analyses advantages and disadvantages for Africa of federated open science practices, together with the policies required to deliver them to best effect. The issues you have all described are being addressed, such
that we hope the Granting Councils will address them, together with International Partners. It would be very helpful if we were able to call on your experiences as evidence. Would any of you be prepared to write a paragraph or two about particular instances
that highlight key problems?</div>
<div><br>

<div>All good wishes</div>

is an instance of a biased data ownership. A few years ago I was working with a young African researcher on an agro-forestry research project. No sooner had we started than I realused that her centre had only some descriptive statistics but no direct access
to the biomass data which she and her colleagues had spent months collecting from two islands! The vast chunk of the data had left with the development partners at the end of the project. It turned out, nobody at the centre had any knowledge or pressing interest
to pursue the data and there was already new initiatives to run another project, which in my view was almost a duplicate of the first, but this time with a different development partner.</span><br style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none">

cut the long story short, I have come across several cases of data ownership of this nature and my view is that it doesn't help much coining terminologies, as the best that can be achieved is a blame culture. Would I call that data capitalism? Colonialism?
Feudalism? I never would! I have learnt, over the years, that proper problem identification is a major stride in working out the solution. Blaming it on one part marginalizing the other when it comes to data generation, access and ownership is stripping everyone
on the project of a fundamental responsibility in managing the project.</span><br style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none">

the problem starts with the project write-up. If the project recipient is fully engaged from project initiation to delivery, they surely should know how to access the data, as that is a key project deliverable. My personal experience is that there are a several
factors that lead to this kind of situation. One, many project ideas are top-down, that is, they are not developed within the working conditions of the recipients. Two, there are often many gaps in engagement, mainly caused by near disparate motives on many
projects, with the funders, experts and recipients not necessarily having the same perception, motives or knowledge. Put the two together and add the determined project timeline, you have a near disaster. But the tripartite interests to run projects continues
and we are creating a vicious cycle. What is the solution? It must start from the recipients who must align each incoming project with their respective development strategies. They must present themselves as equal partners in defining the project problem and
tracking and measuring its outcomes. They should be able to quantifiable identify what worked and what didn't and any there should be national institutions charged with such responsibility.

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I have not heard that term before but I did run into related term this week at the DDI-CODATA workshop here in Dagstuhl. The term is Data Colonialism. This often
happens when a foreign entity (e.g., a development agency/project).e data are collected in a developing country and are taken out of the country. They will leave behind some summary tables but will take the rich data and metadata away. This makes it difficult
to develop the data analysis and management skills within the country. </span></div>
