<p>When working in the health sector, DFID usually relies on national data sets or
those collected by other partners, such as Demographic and Health Surveys. We usually
encourage sharing of data and have worked with the World Health Organization and other
UN agencies to encourage them to share data more actively with permission from governments.</p><p>
</p><p>Research funded by DFID is covered by our Research Open and Enhanced Access
Policy. Open access refers to irrevocable and free online access by any user worldwide
to the full version of the scientific and scholarly material. The policy includes
the sharing of data from which any research is derived. The policy recommends that
raw datasets are deposited in a suitable open access discipline or institutional repository
within 12 months of final data collection. Researchers should also retain and provide
free on request raw datasets for a minimum of five years after project completion.</p><p>
