The Water Point Data Exchange (WPDx) is the global platform for sharing water point data. The WPDx data standard was designed by a wide range of stakeholders from across sectors and around the world. The core attributes included in the Water Point Data Exchange are already being collected by governments, researchers, and organizations around the world. To read more about the standard or to contribute water point data visit www.waterpointdata.org.

This dataset provides survey responses from 240 people surveyed as part of the "Investigating the Impact of Kenya’s Open Data Initiative on Marginalized Communities: Case Study of Urban Slums and Rural Settlements" project.

The data, collected in mid-2013 looks at issues of where citizens look for data, and how successful they have been in getting government information from different sources, as well as their awareness of the Kenya open data portal, and their interest in getting information through different digital channels in future.

Descriptive statistics have been analysed in the publication "Open Government Data for Effective Public Participation: Findings of a Case Study Research Investigating The Kenya's Open Data Initiative in Urban Slums and Rural Settlements", but no further analysis has yet been carried out.
