D1.4 Data Management Plan - Year 1

The Data Management Plan (DMP) is intended to support partners in the secure and effective use and management of the research data collected and generated within the AfriConEU project. It presents the types of research data that will be generated or collected during the project, the standards that will be used, how the research data will be preserved and what parts of the datasets will be shared for verification or reuse. Importantly, AfriconEU empirical research will generate data from the quantitative surveys, interviews to relevant stakeholders, focus groups, roundtables and workshops. The qualitative research data will not be made openly accessible as primary data but in a processed form as reports.

This DMP will be revised and updated by Month 18 and by Month 30 to reflect the evolving activities and needs of the project implementation, as well as to achieve a sound data management throughout. In particular, the updated versions of the DMP will provide details on particular issues such as data interoperability and improved data management procedures.
