This tag has been established to help field questions regarding this policy, along with associated requirements for USAID implementing partners to submit USAID-funded data to the Development Data Library. The tag may also be used to raise questions regarding USAID's transparency efforts more broadly. The tag is directly monitored by USAID staff on a regular basis. Technical issues or bugs found with data posted to the Development Data Library should be posted to USAID's issues tracker on GitHub.
